The motive behind it is quite simple to understand.

It is the currently most effective method of producing maximally exploitable (cheap) labor for the capitalists. In short, an increase in Reserve army of labour.

This also explains why these politicians don't care at all what happens to the children after birth.

Kycb is explaining the historical purpose of the political position. It's easy to listen to these assholes and see why they're against women's reproductive autonomy, but it's also important to find out why this position has been supported throughout history.

And yes those politicians want votes. They also work for factions of the ruling class that benefit from large amounts of value created by laborers that have poverty imposed upon them.

There are purposes behind why the world is as it is.

Those are puppets. They got brainwashed to do the dirty work of politicians. Or some could get paid to do so. What do they care? They really don’t know shit.

There's no way the kind of people who are vehemently protesting at clinics thinking about "the reserve army of labor".

I never claimed that either. Bluntly speaking the actual protesters here are simply the useful idiots.

And politicians just want their votes.

Yes and no, this alone cannot answer why of all things this wedge issue has been cultivated by the capitalist elite. The expansion of the army of labor represents a possible motivation here as u/blackpharaoh69 explains well.

Exploit women for the churches expense. How many of these zealots refuse to pay taxes, but are whole heartfelt to pay tithes?

It’s almost as if they want a revolution
