...where those pregnant women will be housed "for the protection of the innocent child".

What I don't understand is why the rightwingers always want more births.

With religion ( "go forth and multiply" ), it was clear the leaders wanted more warriors to build the cult against competing cults, but unless corporate America has been putting in purchase orders for more minimum wage workers (who will also have to buy the stuff they make), I don't see how the rightwingers plan to profit off an even worse overpopulation problem.
