3. Definitely race is connected here

But I do believe that the primary reason for this incessant anti-choice push is hyper religiosity. The GOP and the X-tian extremists have a modern history of connectedness. The extremists have developed a core belief that it is their godly duty to eradicate abortion because abortion overrules their screwed up god's will.

However, the intersection of religious extremism, misogyny, and racism is an interesting analytical focal point. 1) Do god's work, 2) control women, 3) get more white babies into the adoption ranks - or at the very least keep them alive to voting age.

Chilling.
