No kidding! Sounds like an Elon Musk theory of child bearing.

Hey a got a great additional idea to add to it. Let's take away about everything people use to help with the costs of having and raising children. I bet that will make all the ladies ready to do their duty!

There is no crisis and this isn’t Gilead. Yet. And there are a lot more reasons than an economy for not having children. I’d bet the economy isn’t even a close second. Social dynamics have changed. And some women even learned their worth isn’t tied to their fallopian tubes. Women are a powerful force and these weird creepy republicans know it. Now. If all women understood the immense power they have…what a day that would be.

The Trump admin talks like America desperately needs more babies, all the while backing policies that make childcare, healthcare, housing, and groceries out of sight for anyone but the rich.

They call themselves pro-family, but often oppose paid leave, childcare expansion, and maternal support programs — basically saying, “Congrats on the baby… but you’re on your own, bitch.”

Their “pro-family policies” are more like “thoughts and prayers with a tax credit.”

Not just more babies, but “Trump Babies” as said by Dr. Oz. Authoritarian anyone?

Every woman in Idaho who needs reproductive care is at risk of dying if they become pregnant now.

Who'd want to bring a baby into today's America for goodness sake?

No wonder Trump calls himself "Father of Fertility", since he is allegedly in the center of the Epstein-broligarchy that dispizes women as "disposables"! So, this press event, at which he again fell asleep after only 11 minutes, is to be seen as a kind of half-hearted confession!

More American babies? Mussolini will love having company...one day.

This gives me chills, thinking of Margaret Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale." Thank you Heather, for all you are doing every day. You are a beacon of knowledge, wisdom and hope. Stay Safe. Stay protected. Elbows Up. 🇨🇦

The “ father of fertility “….what a disgusting creature this “man” is.

Have any of you listened to Rufus Wainwright’s “Going to a Town” recently?

I’m not sleeping very well. Haven’t been since January 6th. No, before that. Ever since the self-appointed evangelical leaders of this country offered to crawl into bed with Trump if he would take away the right a woman has to make about the most excruciating situation she will face in her entire life. Oh yeah, and banish the fucking homosexuals from our society.

I hadn’t. Here are some lyrics - strangely prophetic. (But don’t let a song persuade you not to register and vote this and every year. Ps recording available for free on YouTube for those not interested in buying more Apple products.)

Going to a Town

Song by Rufus Wainwright ‧ 2007

I'm going to a town that has already been burnt down

I'm going to a place that has already been disgraced

I'm gonna see some folks who have already been let down

I'm so tired of America

And how about Lennon’s “How Do You Sleep”. John (Thune)? Marco? Every other fucking Republican senator and representative? How do you fucking sleep? What about you Franklin (Graham). How did you sleep last night?
