the idea of actually providing a society and environment people would want to raise kids in…
never once crossed the half-dozen brain cells shared by this administration.
So happy I’m getting my uterus removed soon
mothers that $5,000 “baby bonus” that Trump promised during the campaign season
5K isn’t going to go far for birthing and raising a child.
We used to have a “baby bonus” payment about 20 years ago in Australia. It made very little difference to birth rates and was derisively called the “plasma TV bonus”. Turns out that even 20 years ago a small lump sum of cash wasn’t enough to persuade people to sign up for a lifetime of expenses and responsibilities by having more kids. It was just a handout to middle class families that could already afford to have kids, which is why it was scrapped.
It sounds like they’re paying parents to abandon their children to research abroad.
might cover the out-of-pocket prenatal and birth costs for some new mothers.
Babies = Slaves and military cannon fodder.
and even a government-funded program to better educate women on their own menstrual cycles so that they know when they should be trying for a baby
It should be Trump himself giving that class. Because I’d love to hear that.
Removing DEI was step one.
Weren’t we just trying to get people to stop having babies to get on the government dole? Just reverse that. High payouts for food stamps and welfare. Free daycare. Free healthcare for children.
Is this just Elon trying to get money from the government after he pays a woman millions to have his next baby?
Ew.
No babies…
Hmmm. I got it!
Drones!
China makes the drones?
Hmmm.
How many nukes do we have again?
They are exploring options like reserving 30 percent of Fulbright scholarships to applicants who are parents and/or married, giving mothers that $5,000 “baby bonus” that Trump promised during the campaign season, and even a government-funded program to better educate women on their own menstrual cycles so that they know when they should be trying for a baby.
If a Democratic politician did this, we would be calling it progressive
Babies are great. Learning about healthcare is great. Supporting education is great. Looks progressive enough.
Reading over Fulbright, it looks like it is for graduate studies. The outreach to people in need of $5,000, who are pursuing graduate studies, seems oriented toward a specific class. I’ve never been rich, but have heard stories about nannies. I’m sure raising kids is easier with money.
Republican or Democrat, the policy seems to favor rich over poor with the graduate studies requirement. Government handouts for the rich are nothing new. Seems a progressive policy if you can raise children while pursuing graduate studies. Probably still money ahead just going with a vasectomy.
That’s just an idea that was presented to them. Here’s an idea from a regime member.
The Heritage Foundation has been researching the question for over two years and is preparing to release a report in the coming weeks on how it believes the administration and Congress should counter declining birth and marriage rates, said Jay Richards, the director of the foundation’s DeVos Center for Life, Religion, and Family. The “newest and boldest” idea, Mr. Richards said, is a policy plan that offers tax credits to married couples with children, in which families receive more money back from the government for each additional child they have.
In other words, money to straight married couples who pop out kids. Who does that the most? It’s not terrible, on pa’er but it’s obvious what this is right? Meanwhile re: ideas akin to your quoted one where women are taught to find “root causes” for their infertility (a thing gynecologists are for…)
These ideologies have been around for a long time, and they’re always rooted in religion,” said Dr. Eve Feinberg, a medical director of fertility and reproductive medicine at Northwestern University. “It’s not actual medicine.”
meanwhile:
For instance, this month, the health department made large cuts to Division of Reproductive Health, which handled issues related to in vitro fertilization and maternal health outcomes.
progressive my ass, they are eugenecists who want christian white people (who already have access to good maternal outcomes systemically) to have as many babies as possible. There are factions yes, but dont pretend the loudest voices in the regime arent christonationalists and eugenecists.
