But sure, gotta make sure those fetuses become actual real life babies, to hell with their well-being once they're born. Moral obligation indeed.

I can't even. This post, like so many of your posts, is just 100% caricature.
To be short about it, the basic conservative position on any of this is that the family, and local communities do a much better job of managing childcare, employment, education, etc... than the state does. This is a respectable political perspective. You may not agree with it, but don't take something and twist it into something morally repugnant just to score cheap points in a discussion.
