"Pronatalism: Just White Christian Nationalism in Disguise
Scratch just beneath the surface of the so-called pronatalism movement—a movement all over the pages of Project 2025 that’s based on the belief that people need to have more babies because declining birth rates are a threat to civilization—and you’ll find that it’s basically just white Christian nationalism in disguise. The movement is full of ideological contradictions that make it crystal clear: pronatalists’ desire for people to have more babies is in service to their primary goal of reenforcing a system of religious, racial, and gendered hierarchy that favors conservative white Christians.
One of the biggest tells that pronatalism is just a front for white Christian nationalism? The two movements sure seem to have a lot of beliefs (and believers) in common.
Access to Reproductive Health Care and Women’s Role in Society
(. . .)
Opposition To IVF and Other Assisted Reproductive Technology (We Wish We Were Kidding)
(. . .)
Restrictive Views on Who Should Get to Have Children
(. . .)
The Real Goals of the Pronatalist-White Christian Nationalist Movement
(. . .)
pronatalists’ pearl-clutching panic over declining birth rates is really just an excuse to push for draconian measures that would enshrine certain extreme religious beliefs into our laws and wreck our multicultural pluralistic democracy as thoroughly as Trump just wrecked the East Wing.
More babies is not the primary goal of this movement. More control—over women, LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, and anyone who doesn’t adhere to their narrow confines—is.
Pronatalism is about forcing one religious world view on the entire country. In that way, it’s nothing more than white Christian nationalism in disguise."
