I love your optimism, but its rather misplaced.
But they're NOT doing that.
They're not promoting sex education, which drastically reduces teenage pregnancy and thus abortions. They're not working to increase financial and social security for mothers to ensure having a child isn't a massive risk. They're not doing to reduce sexual assault of women leading to unwanted pregnancy.
They're not doing everything in their power, not even remotely close. They're literally just doing one single thing, and that's the thing that hurts women the most, in the most ways and empowers terrible men the most.
So, given that they're actually not trying very hard, and doing things that benefit themselves, one has to wonder if that's truly a surprising of highly specific incompetence, or intentional.
There we go, next level Critical.Thinking. Nicely done.
I'll apply Hanlons razor again: These people are stupid, therefore doing "everything in their power" involves using woefully ineffective means to achieve their goal. I have no problem believing that most anti-abortionists genuinely believe that they're trying to save innocent lives. However, being relatively dumb people means they are primarily driven by feelings rather than logic, and are easily manipulated. This results in them using the means that they "feel" should be effective, rather than proven methods. It also means that the few people that actively are looking to oppress others can manipulate their feelings to make them support means that hurt the people they're trying to help.
