I just wanna pop in and state that this is a feature and desired impact of the anti-abortion movement.
Why do they want this? What's the appeal of it? And before someone says something about control or cruelty or something, why do they want that? ~Strawberry
Because they honestly believe women are inferior. They might not say it literally but we got the last GOP nominee for Arizona governor saying "God didn't create women as men's equals" so who knows
It comes from a desire to ensure that their worldview is never challenged, and people find appeal in it because it can give them a sense of purpose in life. A white woman might support Christian theocracy because she believes that she isn't like those "sluts", and that if she follows what rules are laid out for her she'll find contentment.
Check out BeliefItOrNot, a YouTube channel, former evangelical child who left the church in adulthood with lots of great perspectives on this.
But like... Why do they believe that? Why do they want this as their purpose in life? Why do they believe the "one of the good ones" crap? Why do they prioritize maintaining their worldview over human lives??? ~Cherri
What is the appeal of it exactly? And I don't mean the surface level "something something control, cruelty" answer, what's the appeal of that? It's confusing... ~Strawberry
