Don't you see the hidden agenda? The racist oligarchy is concerned only with their own wealth. In order to win elections, they have built up a base that includes stupid, gullible white Christian Nationalists. In order to keep those votes, abortion must be opposed. While the oligarchs themselves can afford to pay for abortions whenever they want and wherever they want, there are economic reasons to justify pro-life, anti-choice policies. Disallowing legal abortions will affect dark skinned women more than white women. It will have two positive effects of value to oligarchs. It will in some cases cause the deaths of both the mother and the fetus (more dark women than white) due to back alley abortions and poor medical care (the latter a top priority of the Republican Party); and it will in other cases result in the births of otherwise unwanted babies (more dark babies than white). You would think the latter result would be against racist principals. But, no, it will produce much needed dark-skin, low-wage labor, many remaining below the poverty line their entire lives, which in turn furthers the profits of the oligarchy. If abortion were not a red-hot issue for religious bigots, the oligarchs would not waste their time opposing it. As usual, the white fascist power structure is opportunistic and self-serving. They aren't stupid! Just evil. (In Hitler's case, they bred their Aryan babies like mice and killed off as many of the others as they could).
