You are not a human. You are a meat robot. Just something to be used up and replaced.

And they're terrified of all the childless cat ladies opting to not produce their next generation of laborer/consumer brood to be said replacement. Hence the crackdown on abortions and contraception and people who pair up in ways that cannot yield children. You can't have the infinite growth that capitalism demands if the number of producers and consumers goes down.
