This is cool but I hate that my mind jumped to “this will be great ammo for a full abortion ban”
And so I’m not misconstrued: the above thought is a bad thing to me.

A lot of the conservative agenda is focused on being in favor of more births. Give them a cheap alternative that doesn’t come with the human attached and some radically misogynist/homophobic elements might suddenly have a change of heart because their goals doesn’t conflict with it anymore.
Of course some people will never change, but look how the dishwasher and other appliances changed the lives of women. Suddenly traditions that had been around forever changed, and women were spending a lot less time doing domestic labor.
