(13,559 posts)If you look at their attitudes toward minorities, they describe them as uppity and not knowing their place. In their wee little warped minds, women also have a place, which is one of subservience to man, and if they refuse to stay in their place they must be punished. Forcing women to have babies they dont want is simply one means of controlling them and keeping them out of the economic marketplace where they might gain financial independence and not have to rely on men.
I may be wrong here, but I also see the forced birthers as white supremacists who know that minority women tend to have much higher maternal death rates than white women. Therefore, if you force all women to have more babies, more black and brown women will die, along with their babies, thus increasing the white population, a primary goal of these people. Even saying that makes me feel rather ill, but I think the forced birthers are just that sick!
