The thing is, it really isn’t. If it were, truly, about religion, then pre and post natal care, universal healthcare and access to education would all be equally prioritised. Not to mention gun control to protect those children later in life.
It is solely about the ability to impose one’s will on others less fortunate or less powerful than you, and maintain power over them. Both individually and en masse over an entire social or ethnic demographic.
None of the people making these laws give a single fuck about the lives of children or the way they grow up.

I mostly agree with you, but it's religion that let's people convince themselves and others that controlling women's bodies is being "pro life" while also denying gun control. It's religion that people use to say life starts at conception and there are hugely wealthy and powerful religious organisations that have been using that phrase to lobby for controlling women's bodies.

Hint: it's religion.
