Republicans want women to be brood sows. Conservative beliefs only work if there’s a endless supply of poor, uneducated, subservient/indoctrinated people working below the powerful and wealthy. That’s not possible if women get to choose when (if ever) and how many children they have. Add in the fact the GOP is lead by a literal rapist, who loves the idea of forcing women to be attached to him forever, doesn’t see anything wrong with extending that control 18 years.
