[Quoted tweet]
White House aides have fielded proposals to increase birth rates in the US including...
1) reserving a % of Fulbright scholarships for applicants who are married/have kids
2) $5k "baby bonuses" for new moms
3) gov't funding for menstrual cycle education classes

Lol. But no actual financial support or structural changes (stable work, living wages, affordable healthcare, education etc.) ? Just a National Medal Of Motherhood ? I also hate this world.

Pronatalist activists Simone and Malcom Collins have "sent the White House several draft executive orders, including one that would bestow a 'National Medal of Motherhood' to mothers with six or more children" Trump Aides Solicit Ideas to Raise Birthrate, From Baby Bonuses to Fertility Planning

As has been pointed out many times, "highly educated couples" are not the ones driving falling birth rates

is this not just the existing child tax credit but with a marriage requirement?

meanwhile, the teams working on and researching infertility & maternal mortality at CDC are getting slashed https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/04/19/cdc-cuts-maternal-mortality-fertility/

That’s unfortunate but national fertility rate and maternal mortality are highly correlated, so the snarky “meanwhile,” like this is counterproductive to natalism, is incorrect.

"The White House has been hearing out a chorus of ideas in recent weeks for persuading Americans to get married and have more children". Everything except for paid medical/parental leave, affordable childcare, and affordable health care for parents AND children. Great job, dudes.

A “National Medal of Motherhood” when we just want affordable health care and child care.

The actual reason for the birthrate decline is women entering the workforce but no one is ready for that discussion.

Black women have always been in the workforce. No birthrate issue when white men were legally allowed to rape them!! Oh wait....I forgot. Black women are not considered women by most non-Black people talking about history. Whoops. Carry on. What were you saying about "women?"

The mind of a conservative is fascinating :jbhmm:

Let’s raise birthrates, but make having kids and living more expensive than ever while totally dismantling any social safety nets

These sickos want to make Handmaiden Tale a how to guide
Its the doge paradox.

They want to steal from and impoverish the people, but they still want these same people buying things and birthing consumers for them, despite not being able to afford it.


And to top it off, they don't want immigrants either
:mjlol:


@ba'al you timed yours perfectly. I suspect they will outlaw vasectomies, IUDs, and condoms next, while increasing child support requirements for men:wow:

Lmaooooo apparently the White House wants to give a “National Medal of Motherhood” to women who have 6 or more children

These guys are the biggest fukking weirdos 🤣

@SmartBrutus
It's just a confusing take. No assistance for women being forced to have them, no medical aid for women who need life-saving care if it could harm a fetus, and you bust out an award? LOL

@AthletesInSpace
No paid maternity or paternal leave!!!

No universal childcare or subsidized childcare!!

Increasingly less flexible work policies!!!

Healthcare is tied to employment!!

Fertility treatments aren’t covered by insurance!!

Now this is one issue as a bothsider I got to put my foot down and speak up.

Leave women without Children alone! That's my dating pool!

The baby daddies and mommas you can mess with them all day though Trump. Need to put tariffs on Child Support.
