One proposal shared w/aides would reserve 30% of scholarships for the Fulbright program, the prestigious, govt-backed international fellowship, for applicants who are #married or have #children.

Another would give a $5k “baby bonus” to every American mother after delivery.

A third calls on the govt to fund programs that *educate* #women on their #MenstrualCycles — in part so they can better understand when they are ovulating & able to conceive.

Those ideas, & others, are emerging from a movement [purportedly] concerned w/declining birthrates that has been gaining steam for years & now has allies in the US admin, including #JDVance & #ElonMusk. Policy experts & advocates of boosting the birthrate have been meeting w/ #Trump aides, sometimes handing over written proposals on ways to help or *convince* #women to have more #babies, per 4 people who have been part of the meetings….

Admin ofcls have not indicated what ideas…they might ultimately embrace. But advocates expressed confidence that *fertility issues* will become a prominent piece of the agenda, noting that #Trump has called for a “baby boom” & pointing to the symbolic power of seeing #JDVance & other top ofcls attend public events w/their #children.

“I just think this administration is inherently *pronatalist*,” said the activist Simone Collins, referring to the movement to reverse declining birthrates.

Collins, along w/her husband, Malcolm Collins, sent the #Trump admin several draft #ExecutiveOrders, including one that would bestow a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with six or more children. [ummm what???]

Much of the movement is built around *promoting* [dictating] a very specific idea of what constitutes a #family — one that includes #marriage between a #man & a #woman, & leaves out many #families that don’t conform to traditional #gender roles or family structures. In contrast to the intense emphasis on cost cutting so far during #Trump’s second term, this focus on families could result in spending more money to back a *new* set of priorities.

#Trump, #JDVance & #Musk have cultivated the movement by publicly highlighting issues related to #family policy & “pronatalism” — both in the lead up to the election, & since Trump took office. Speaking to a crowd in January at the March for Life, an anti-abortion rally, Vance said he wanted “more babies in the United States of America” & more “beautiful young men & women” to raise them.

Last month, Trump pledged to be “the fertilization president.”

“Pronatalism strictly speaks to having more babies,” said Emma Waters, a policy analyst at the #HeritageFoundation, the #conservative think tank that led #Project2025. Waters, who says she is concerned about the birthrate but does not identify as a pronatalist, added: “Our ultimate goal is not just more babies but more families formed.”

…The most ambitious plans for *#family* formation will not materialize right away, many movement leaders said. That is partially because, while other countries have tried a variety of approaches, it’s not yet clear what kind of policies will best incentivize people to have more babies — or whether those kinds of policy incentives are effective at all. Many ideas, like an expanded child tax credit or a “baby bonus,” would require an act of #Congress.

The #HeritageFoundation has been researching it for >2 years & is preparing to release a report in the coming weeks on how it believes the #Trump admin & #Congress should counter declining birth & marriage rates, said Jay Richards, dir of the foundation’s DeVos Center for Life, Religion, & Family. The “newest & boldest”idea, he said, is a policy plan that offers tax credits to #married couples w/ #children, in which families receive more money back from the govt for each additional child…
