why did the ruling class do this? i have vague ideas but not sure what is the actually correct analysis

  1. jesus

republican people with power actually believe the crap they say and/or know their voters do, so they genuinely just dont want abortions to happen because jesus

  1. class warfare

millennials arent having enough babies to support the labour pool + people with children make for better cogs, since they are less likely to stir shit and cause problems for their employers/landlords as they will feel they have more to risk

  1. fascist state

hearing stories from people reporting on their neighbours in texas, its about creating a fascist panopticon with people increasingly policing themselves and everyone they interact with across the country, with more things to police about each other to be added in the future

is it one of these, or a mix, or something else, or is it pointless to even search for the "correct" analysis here?

    Its always a mix, everything is multifaceted, its those 3 things and even stuff like military secrecy stuff I've seen floating around. Fascism is very poor at dealing with its innate contradictions you'll see these things more often as the contradictions grow too great to be dealt with in material reality as it tries to punch down the masses and keep itself futilely afloat.
