It's totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.

I found this article, "States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality", but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

Not this one. Banning abortion doesn't gain anyone money, so it's just pandering to right wing Christians.

Which is a base they need to win the elections. Which they want so they can give out tax breaks… to the rich. And that’s the circle of life.

Banning abortion doesn’t gain anyone money

It's hugely lucrative for religious organizations and their affiliated political donor recipients. Also, creates a rich vein of for-profit adoption centers - particularly religiously affiliated ones - to effectively sell infants to older childless adults in the congregation.

A bunch of those "You don't have to choose adoption, there is another way!" billboards are paid for by for-profit adoption groups and their intake organization affiliates.
