They don't care about the fetus either. None of the states that are pushing these extreme anti-abortion positions are moving to spend a dime for pre-natal or post-natal care. They are engaging in cheap posturing. This is performance art with victims. If they actually cared they would be accepting Medicaid expansion, increasing medical spending pre and post birth and more, but of course this is not happening. This about feeling good at the expense of someone else, the the most cynical form of morality.
To paraphrase, watch where the money goes because that shows what they care about.
Spending money on people = evil socialism. It also takes money out of the economy and the pockets of good, God-fearing, hardworking Americans and gives it to lazy shiftless people who send it to where the socks go in the dryer. It sure don't go back into the economy; not like those stimulus checks during Covid that gave money to God-fearing hardworking Americans so they could continue to be God-fearing hardworking Americans who spent that money in ways that recirculated money in the local economy (and didn't all go to Amazon and Google!).
Spending money on business/defense contractors = free market capitalism that creates a rising tide that lifts all boats. Or at least the boats of good, God-fearing hardworking Americans who deserve a boat! The people who don't have a boat the tide can raise deserve to tread water!
And what good's morality if I can't feel morally superior to somebody else?! Hell, it's the only way I know I'm bein' moral!
