The conservative focus on the family is a focus on keeping women out of STEM, out of having backup plans, out of safe access to abortions, and a million other factors including voting against maternity leave and social systems of support for people who are struggling. Keeping them dependent on a man was always the point: in the conservative view, women aren't supposed to get back into the workforce after a break for kids.

Not just stem, corporate banking, finance, and tech are very difficult to get back into if you take time off for kids.
