Agree with one correction. In earlier times they could reasonably be called Pro Life. Now I believe they should more accurately be called Forced Birth. They don’t give a damn what happens to a child, and their family, once they are born. Their whole point is to force women to give birth, regardless of the circumstances.
The anti-abortion movement has never been about preserving life. It is all about controlling women. That is why they also oppose birth-control. The best way to prevent the need for abortions is to promote birth-control and I don't mean the rhythm method.
I’d make it broader what their goal is: control, especially of women. They want to control how everyone lives. Sometimes it’s about reproduction, sometimes about marriage, sometimes it’s about what professional women must wear to cover their bare arms, sometimes it’s about who can play sports. Wyoming Republicans are even contemplating outlawing electric cars.
I'm just completely done giving "pro-life" Republican voters the benefit of the doubt. These people don't give a flying f*** about "dead babies". They just want groups of people to demonize, and "women who have sex willingly or unwillingly" aligns with their misogyny, paranoia, feckless machismo, and contempt-driven worldview. Seriously, these "single issue voters" are either hopelessly dim or devoid of basic human empathy.

Most of them were ALWAYS forced birth. The prolife label was to make their extremism palatable.
