This is how you get increased suicides and abandoned infants.
The problem is (a) Republicans don’t care if the issue isn’t their own, and (b) Republicans seem to lack the capacity for identifying systemic failures. It’s like an object-permanence thing with them. If they can’t physically see the thing happening directly with their two eyes, then there is no relation. Like they’re blind to negative externalities or indirect side-effects. at the macro level.
In other words… There’s a reason these folks don’t normally make great engineers or scientists.
This is EXACTLY what Republicans mean when they say they’re HARD on Rapists! After a Rapist Rapes your daughter it’s illegal for her to get an Abortion and if she does her Rapist gets a bunch of money from her!
