It's never been about anything other than control. Just look at the southern states in the US that tried to implement tougher controls on Abortion last year. The people behind that movement probably saw the Handmaid's Tale as something to aspire to.
Children get taken into care where they are abused and discarded within the system because unfit parents couldn't take care of them but the pro-life people don't care about them. They'll call themselves pro-life yet ignore the fact that black lives are being killed by the police everyday, they'll ignore the ethnic cleansing that China is attempting on Uighur muslims (the latest attempt is that China is forcing birth control and abortions on them) and they'll ignore the south american children locked up in cages at the US border but the world will stop for a woman choosing to abort a bundle of cells that she is ill-equipped to care for.
If our biology were to suddenly change overnight and men were the ones who gave birth, abortion would go unopposed throughout the world.
