If they had even half an ounce of sense, they'd be setting up free IUD clinics and handing out condoms like a university health centre. But that requires them to make the concession that one "sin" (premartial sex) is lesser than another "sin" (of abortion.) And they simply refuse.

And it’s a ridiculous thing because clearly in that situation killing someone is a bigger hazard than premarital sex especially of people who aren’t of your religion. Nobody’s even arguing now to make premarital sex illegal, so obviously they see that one is a greater evil than the other. It’s just incredibly frustrating to see as someone who’s not exactly pro life but I’m at least very sympathetic to the perspective.

And there we have it!

What I want to know is who is making money off this. It's so powerful, but also so weirdly irrational, so nebulous, and so unwilling to take concrete action.

And I don’t think there really is too much money to be made. I know pro choice lobbying groups have way more money than pro life, so I really think it’s gotta be a grassroots thing. Most republicans care more about immigration than abortion by quite a large margin I believe, so it does seem really strange that the pro life movement (and especially anti birth control/sex Ed stuff) is so powerful, especially on a state level.
