I think it's part of the same reason for abortion restrictions.

IMO, abortion restrictions are about reducing women's independence, and keeping society patriarchal. That and keeping white people the majority.

It's just a happy coincidence that it could result in more poor people who are desperate to take any job, although infant mortality is up in abortion restricted states post Roe, so it may not quite work out that way.
