Someone called it "soft eugenics" and that makes the most sense to me. It's probably too much bad press and effort to do the old school active eugenics of preventing undesirable peoples from reproducing. So instead you remove health and safety services so "nature" will take care of them. While you simultaneously make it "easier" for the others to reproduce by handing out benefits and preventing birth control.
I'm sure that makes sense to the "utilitarian" crowd or whatever they are called, that believe that the goal of humanity's survival against whatever hypothetical future scenario they think of justifies any means today. Well, except to those who paid attention in biology and know that diversity is actually our best strategy to do just that.
How tf does preventing birth control prevent undesirables from reproducing?
Forces everyone to reproduce. Lack of healthcare kills off the ones who can’t afford to survive. The “undesirables” still reproduce, they just die young.
Prevention of birth control leads to teen pregnancies, especially among the poor. It doesn't matter if they die young as long as they reproduce. That seems counterproductive...
They don’t want the undesirables to die out entirely. They just want them under heel as worker drones.
On the other side of the coin, gotta make sure the “right people” have lots of kids to make sure there will be an upper class to rule over the worker drones.
