LoveUniHateExams,
Many, probably most, of the people opposing abortion also are opposed to government spending . . . . like healthcare. Can't have increasing socialization of medical care. Any social safety nets are vigorously opposed and they are not bothered in the least by the incongruity of their positions.
When you say state care it conjures up a picture of warehousing people and paying staff as little as possible. Do this until they get old enough to throw out on the streets to fend for themselves. No money for medical or mental care, no money for housing or vocational training. Everyone can make it on their own in the capitalistic paradise, the land of opportunity!
