Can someone please help me remember who made this loathsome anti-abortion argument? [View all]

My googling talents are failing me, but I remember some Trumper saying that one reason abortion is bad is that we have a labor shortage, and abortion is reducing the number of babies who can grow up to be workers in the labor market.

In other words, forced pregnancy is a solution to our labor shortage. (That, combined with ending child labor protections.) Of course these same people think we should limit immigration as much as possible . . .

I told a relative about this today and he didn't believe me, so I'd appreciate any links.
