    This is also the real reason why conservatives are again pushing to do away with child labor restrictions in the US. If a child is allowed to do the job for a lower wage, it lowers the wage for adults, too.

        IMO, abortion restrictions are about reducing women’s independence, and keeping society patriarchal. That and keeping white people the majority.

        It’s just a happy coincidence that it could result in more poor people who are desperate to take any job, although infant mortality is up in abortion restricted states post Roe, so it may not quite work out that way.
