(7,569 posts).....most of the anti-birth control and anti-abortion issues are basically and elementally about supplying the labor force with cheap labor....the more people, the cheaper the labor. So not surprised to hear this stated publicly by a medieval representative.
Doesn't Russia have anti-abortion policies in order to add to labor supply? No religious motives there to cover with.

(813 posts)I do know him and have known him for a long time.
We've been on-stage several times in shows, and he was always a cheery, helpful cast mate. As dads, we'd talk about dad things and everything was perfectly friendly. He was not one of those obnoxious cast-mates who bloviates or even mentions politics.
He's married to an African-American woman and has two terrific daughters, just a few years younger than mine. Done shows with all of them, too.
I was shocked by his positions when he went into politics. I could not wrap my mind around the fact that a friendly guy from a multi-racial home could have such extreme right-wing ideas. Sadly, where he lives, he's representing his district faithfully. *sigh*
I listened to the clip from his speech and I think he was trying to point out an irony that because of abortions, we don't have the workers, so don't have economic growth, so don't have the tax-base to fund Democratic social programs. Not supported by facts in any way, of course, but I think that's where he was going.
I don't understand. People can be irrationally complex.
Dammit.
**On update: It's not like our wildly gerrymandered legislature is going to fund social programs in the near future anyway, worker shortage or not.
