"But the anti-abortion movement is not, in fact, a movement dedicated to ending abortion. It is a movement dedicated to ending women’s equality."

"The anti-abortion movement generally opposes contraception, and wants it to go the way of legal abortion in the United States.
It may seem odd that a movement ostensibly dedicated to ending abortion would oppose the tools that are the most effective at ending abortion."

"The anti-abortion movement; the MAHA, or Make America Healthy Again, movement; and pronatalists who want to see birthrates rise at nearly any cost."

"Instead of getting highly effective contraception methods to the country’s poorest women so that they may decide if and when to have children, Title X under Mr. Trump seems aimed at getting more women pregnant, whether they want to be or not. And it appears to cater to three influential parts of the Trump coalition:"

"President Trump seems intent on killing Title X. This month, the Department of Health and Human Services quietly issued new funding guidelines that have effectively subverted the program’s entire purpose."

"It is tempting for religious leaders to respond to low birth rates with moral exhortation: be generous, be hopeful, welcome life. Those are not wrong words. But when those words land on bodies already stretched thin, they can sound like spiritual gaslighting: 'Trust God,' spoken by institutions that do not carry the cost."

"The point is that certain labor markets are designed to eat evenings, weekends, and predictability — then pay you extra for surrendering your life. …
The ethical diagnosis is blunt: we have built an economy that depends on women’s labor, while continuing to behave as if care is an unlimited free resource that women will supply off the books."

"Claudia Goldin’s Nobel-cited work helps name the mechanism: 'greedy jobs' reward long, inflexible hours with disproportionate pay, and they penalize those who need flexibility — most often mothers, because care is still distributed unequally inside homes (Nobel Prize, 2023).
The point is not that ambitious people are morally defective."

"millions are not able to have the number of children they want because economic precarity, housing, job insecurity, and sexist norms box them in (UNFPA, 2025a).
It is a helpful reframing because it refuses two easy lies: the lie that people are selfish and “don’t want children,” and the lie that a moral lecture will fix the matter."
