It's about punishing women for being in control of their bodies and having sex. Abortions are just easier to yell about than contraceptives.

And even then, Evangelicals didn't care about abortion issues when Roe happened. They only started talking about it when the Feds came for their segregated private schools, and they knew being pro-segregation wouldn't get them very far politically

It's about not killing babies, that is all.

It was never about the fetuses, they're just a convenient wedge issue.
