I think I've figured out a large, though not consciously acknowledged
reason why the Right is so willing to push for eliminating contraception
and abortion coverage that has nothing to do with religious teachings
even though those teachings provide a handy cover. We must remember
that the mindset of slavers of old still exists, albeit in a new guise:
Corporations. The wealthy few have found a new way to create a slave
class in America, and the only way to make sure the money, which is
invariably equated with power, keeps pouring in is to continually grow
the worker base, which simultaneously grows the consumer base. And if
the slaves, who also don't realize they're slaves, are allowed to have
easily accessible and safe contraception and abortion, well that
threatens the growth of that worker/consumer class. And allowing
bigotry and misogyny at all levels has the added bonus of acting as a
handy diversion from the reality that unless they're one of the wealthy
few then they're also slaves. Amazingly, while they have more power
than the peons, even the millionaires are slaves to the ultra-rich.
