#MAHA Is Still Creepily Obsessed With Your #Fertility
#RFK Jr. and Dr. Mehmet Oz’s comments about teen #sperm count and “underbabied” Americans at a recent women’s health event underscore the White House’s #pronatalist agenda.

Fertility rates have fallen rapidly in the UK and other high-income countries in recent years. Education, economic uncertainty and changing gender roles are among the factors that have played a part. Keeping the combination of causes in mind is essential for designing effective policy responses.
“#Pronatalist policies have been shown as ‘impotent’ in budging the long-term #fertility rates. The root problems are #economic uncertainty, problems with #housing, #childcare availability and #gender #inequality in the household," said Connecting Generations Co-Director Professor Melinda Mills MBE in today's The Telegraph:

Trump and his stupid Nazi "mothers" medal, the #pronatalist bullshit, and all the people involved in it can just fuck right off into the farthest sun from our galaxy.

"#Fatherhood, for #Musk, ends with conception, except for lingering payouts. There is no discernible sense of mutual duty or responsibility between Musk and his children or between Musk and his children’s mothers, ...
Musk is rich enough to carry on his #pronatalist project indefinitely, and the world is full of women of childbearing age who could use $15 million. Musk descendants, therefore, may one day inherit the earth."
The #ProNatalist angst about America's declining birth rate misses the obvious solution: free #childcare would solve the problem. The oft cited #ChildTaxCredit is a measley US$2,000 per year. That is a laughable amount that would motivate no one.
