Spoilers: No one that wants to ban most abortions wants to put a penny into helping the children if the parents forced to birth them are poor or unfit. They want to punish the mothers far more than protect innocent life.

This is like saying banning gay marriage and sodomy is ok if those states fund moving LGBTQ+ people to safe states and promise not to prosecute.

These two things are not at all the same. Banning Sodomy or gay marriage is bigoted behavior or at best borne out of ignorance.

I don't agree with pro life advocates... but I also don't think all of them are pro life out of hatred of women (although I will agree with you that many -- perhaps even most pro life people think this way).

....That said, regardless of their motivations we will codify abortion rights at a federal level again. As part of that I would like to see federal protections for viable/third trimester fetuses and also real financial resources and support for mothers giving birth in those situations if they otherwise have economic hardships and want to keep their babies instead of giving them up for adoption.
