Why reproductive freedom is so important, and why the right wing wants to suppress it

Corporate/Plutocratic right - Reproductive freedom gives women of all economic classes choices and power, taking this away means there is a new source of cheap labor.

Evangelicals - Future soldiers for their holy wars against the Muslim countries, probably France too. All to bring on the "end times".

Right wing in general - Taking away power women have just to suppress them, viewing pregnancy as 'punishment'.

I'm pessimistic about the outcome of this fight, but if we have a chance I suspect we need to fight on multiple issues.
