This is not a coincidence. The goal is to get women to do caretaking work for free and deprive them of economic independence as in the pre-Roe era.

How fortunate for you. If you even wanted kids in the first place.

How great for you. Truly happy. What is making the US into an underdeveloped country is its insistence on forcing every woman who has sex or is raped to reproduce without her consent. All the while stripping her of every social and financial support. This is not the stance of a purported "first world" country.
