If I were to summarize how this fits into long term republican vision of society it would be the following.
“Abortion, like healthcare, home ownership, and free speech is a thing we should reserve solely to for the wealthy and anybody making less than 2 million a year should not have access to any of these things”
2 million a year is a close to perfect way to divide the owning class for the rest of us. A surgeon has more in common with a grocery store clerk than a CEO and people really don’t understand that.
It should be remembered its always an elitist view when people view a subset of the population as unable to appreciate, unworthy to have or ‘going to far with’ a freedom.

Honestly in some ways the actual number doesn’t matter, if you earn your living by selling your labor for a salary or wages you aren’t the problem
I would agree. The TEM (temporarily embarrassed millionaire) problem is particularly visible in corporate middle management and small business owners.
“Rules for thee, not for me.”
