In response to this a number of conservatives have cited the Yellen/Akerlof paper which argues that legal abortion *and the birth control pill* led to increased unmarried parenting.
But I feel like if I said “Republicans want to ban contraceptives” that would sound paranoid. https://t.co/VYdWVBQE9K

I understand, incidentally, that conservatives think abortion is murder and therefore they don’t need to worry too much about prudential concerns.
But in other contexts (gun regulation, e.g.) conservatives do not believe murder-reduction should be the only consideration.
Great illustration of the risks of “negative intersectionality” — whichever coalition seems more chill and hospitable to people who disagree with it about some stuff will win, because very few people *consistently* support the standard views of either party.
