Dr. Jonas Swartz: These white, male politicians, I don’t know if they are directly thinking of it as a way to maintain power, but it’s the family. The maintenance of their notion of family. This idea that these conservative Christian values are the traditional value of the United States, so you need to maintain those. But why abortion specifically? I think it is because it’s regulating women’s bodies. The other thing is that abortion comes from sex. I was on a panel where one of my mentors from Oregon said, “We’re all humans and humans, we all like to have sex. And we like to have sex because it feels good and it’s fun” and sometimes pregnancy comes from that. But, because sex is in many ways considered immoral, the product of that sex then, someone has to bear the consequences.
