Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

The anti-contraception/anti-abortion movement's goal is not to "promote sexual morality" through law but to force women, especially younger and lower income women to have children. The reasoning behind this is that if you are poorer and don't have a degree and then have a kid, you will need to support this child. To do that you will need to get a job. Since you do not have a degree your employment prospects aren't too good to say the least and you are, by definition, cheap labour. You are desperate to work and you will need to work longer hours to support a child with that low pay.
That's why conservative groups support abstinence only education, oppose easy access to contraceptives and birth control and often oppose abortion for all reasons. After all, a sickly baby is an expensive baby. Religious groups also join in the fray as well. Since the government won't help out (why would they help you raise the child when they want you to be cheap labour), they leave charities to do the work. Guess who runs many of these charities? Churches! After all, they get a constant, tax free income that is well above maintenance costs. They use their resources to help out the impoverished mother and child and while they're at it, they will try and convert them. The child especially. Why? Because a child raised in a church is less likely to deconvert. Boom, they have new believers! Halleluya!

its like they started out with something resembling a point and then descended into full on crazy town

more copypasta?

and then the poor bible-beater kids are the most likely to join the us military, war makes certain people more money than it ultimately burns, blood for the blood god, etc.

it's amazing what conclusions you can draw from just following a bunch of correlations to extremes

the problem with this (and most conspiracy theories) is that they completely discount the fact that people are way too stupid and/or error-prone to coordinate the vast efforts involved in pulling them off

yes, but how do you feel about let's plays?
