I would add that not only does the right-wing oppose abortion as a  
"pretext for imposing social control over women", but they see it  
also as a form of racist population control. Given that most women  
who have abortions in the USA tend to be "caucasian", the right fears  
the impending minority status of "white people", which is also one of  
the unspoken reasons behind their fear of the "brown tide" from  
Mexico. So of course they want "their" women to reproduce, and not  
abort.
