Killing live people - women, children, POCs, poor, other countries, etc - has always been acceptable and even promoted by Republicans. It’s only ending potential pregnancies when they “care” about lives. Except of course when it’s their wife, mistress, daughter who wants an abortion, then it’s ok.
If I were to summarize how this fits into long term republican vision of society it would be the following.
“Abortion, like healthcare, home ownership, and free speech is a thing we should reserve solely to for the wealthy and anybody making less than 2 million a year should not have access to any of these things”
2 million a year is a close to perfect way to divide the owning class for the rest of us. A surgeon has more in common with a grocery store clerk than a CEO and people really don’t understand that.
It should be remembered its always an elitist view when people view a subset of the population as unable to appreciate, unworthy to have or ‘going to far with’ a freedom.

Honestly in some ways the actual number doesn’t matter, if you earn your living by selling your labor for a salary or wages you aren’t the problem
I would agree. The TEM (temporarily embarrassed millionaire) problem is particularly visible in corporate middle management and small business owners.
“Rules for thee, not for me.”
