This. It’s about moralism and their discomfort with women’s sexuality.
Women shouldn’t have abortions because they should refrain from having sex. They shouldn’t need contraception because they should refrain from having sex. They shouldn’t have children out of wedlock because they should refrain from having sex. They shouldn’t need foodstamps to feed their children shouldn’t have abortions because they should refrain from having sex. They shouldn’t need childcare shouldn’t have abortions because they should refrain from having sex.
The other policy things, like favoring investors over workers is because they worship business owners and think any worker who doesn’t own a business is a lazy fuckoff who deserves whatever
crumbs falltrickles down from the business owner’s table.
I would add one addendum: they believe women shouldn’t be having sex because only men should initiate sex, and express sexual desire, and that a woman’s sexuality exists only in reference to her husband.
