Is there some benefit here for Trump voters?

I don't see it.

But then again, I don't see how a trade war against the world is going to "Make America Great Again" either. It is much more likely to do the opposite.

Promote Christian values; abortion is bad, and STDs have the stigma of promiscuous behaviour. Treating STDs and having abortions available encourages promiscuity.

(not my views, oversimplified take on fundamentalists and project 2025)

Isn't the simple answer to that question just to look at history?

It is no coincidence that the rising availability of contraception coincided with the swinging 60s.

And what contraception facilitated the orgies of Roman times?
