Today’s Republican Party, while claiming to stand for limited government, stands for government intrusion everywhere. They are:
-Outlawing abortions.
-Prohibiting teachers from teaching about America’s racist past.
-Making it harder to vote.
This is not limited government.
An aspect that gets overlooked, is the costs of enforcement.
Are red state governments so wealthy, they can afford a massive increase in prisons, policing, and courts for the "crimes" of contraception, miscarriage, hormone treatment, abortion, voting, teaching history, reading assignments, and college AP courses?
Are taxpayers prepared to see double digit increases in taxation to fund the partisan wishlists of Republican billionaires buying the votes of evangelicals and bigots?
GOP billionaire donors want to re-create slavery & Jane Crow. The GOP even want the death penalty for conviction of their fake culture war crimes
Much of it is a pretext to expand felony disenfranchisement, just like the "war on drugs" was a scheme to disenfranchise POC.

Sentencing women to domestic penal servitude for the "crime" of teaching history, contraception, hormone treatment, voting, reading banned books, or treating a miscarriage.
