David Purdue is one of the most idiotic apologists the GOP Georgia has; he likely has no personal opinion about woman’s reproductive rights vs the state passing and enforcing this abominable violation of health and privacy, if he does its malleable. What he does know is that a lot of the white evangelicals that constitute his base in Georgia identify outlawing abortion as their major goal. For greasy corporate tool’s like Pure-doo it’s solely a means to an end, staying in office.
In fact the GOP (thanks to Karl Rove) has been spending decades baking this resonant grievance into rural southern white people. So of course he’ll minimize the economic fallout to the state’s various industries. And let’s face it, if so called conservative’s in Georgia worry about facing the actual consequences of this pseudo christianist-fascist statute, they likely won’t have to deal with it anyway, as they can send their daughters or wives out-of-state for the procedure. If the courts overturn it, at least they tried and further cement the white-right’s loyalty to them, if the courts uphold it which may be likely now if it gets to SCOTUS, then they “triumph”
win-win
It’s poor people who will suffer from it, it always is. And down in Georgia, poverty is viewed as a punishable defect in character, especially if you aren’t white.
