Just to add to the excellent points that you're making here, check this out: The Attorney General of the State of Missouri is arguing in court that a decrease in teenage pregnancies in the state harms the state financially and politically — so the state should be able to restrict birth control and abortion.

He is literally and actually arguing that teenage girls are and should be broodmares for the state.

He's arguing this in 2024.

Imagine!
