Trump Administration Said to Plan Rolling Back Pregnancy-Related Job Protections (Gift Article)
The Biden era law was meant to help women stay in the workplace, but some conservatives say rules to enact it went too far with coverage for abortion and fertility treatment.

Pronatalism.
It also provides fuel for far-right pronatalism. The problem isn't that we fund bombs instead of books; it's that women won't produce as many babies as we want them to.

I did not express "skepticism of the motivations", I reported that public concern over low birth rates is more common among conservatives. But he used it to show social justice takes on pronatalism "extend to academic commentators." I may be a commentator elsewhere, but that paper isn't commentating

New IFS report on culture and fertility concludes pronatalists must convince young people that their valid concerns are, in fact, no big deal and validates parents' pressuring adult children into having kids.
No need to make structural changes; it's all culture, baby.

And, related, why he pushes insane pronatalism because HE just hires subordinates to have his children, who he then barely engages with. Come on everyone, have more kids. It's as simple as pressuring your subordinates and paying them to incubate your offspring that you don't have to raise

The entire project of pronatalism, the pro-life movement, and the shredding of the social safety net is to punish women for having sex.
They know expectant mothers will die. They think all women who have sex are disgusting, pregnancy is disgusting, and women are disposable.

Across the country, hospitals under financial strain are shuttering their delivery units, putting expectant mothers at greater risk. As Trump’s cuts to Medicaid take effect, these “maternity care deserts” will only grow.

Pronatalism doesn't have to be pro forced birth (I am concerned with the negative affects of population decline but I think we should just have open borders) but by some weird coincidence they just accidentally are every time. Social safety nets don't get you there. (Let's do them anyway, though).

They're actually doing it: crafting a transportation plan around marriage and birth rates. Pronatalism showing up in all sorts of ways. www.vox.com/future-perfe...
![In addition, FTA proposes that the CIG percentage share adjustments would boost a New Starts or Core Capacity project’s CIG percentage share at entry to Engineering if the project is in a transit corridor with birth or marriage rates at or above the national average, or within a certain percentage below the national average. This proposal is consistent with DOT Order 2100.7, Ensuring Reliance Upon Sound Economic Analysis in Department of Transportation Policies, Programs, and Activities, which directs DOT programs ‘‘to the extent practicable, relevant, appropriate, and consistent with law, . . . give preference to communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average (including in administering the Federal Transit Administration’s Capital Investment Grant[s] Program).’’ As depicted in Table 2 below, FTA proposes to increase the CIG percentage share by an additional five percentage points if the average birth rate in the corridor is more than one percent above the national average. FTA would increase the CIG percentage share by three percentage points if the birth rate is equal to the national average or up to one percent higher than the national average. FTA would increase the CIG percentage share by one percentage point if the average birth rate is within one percent below the national average. FTA proposes to apply the same approach to adjust the CIG percentage share based on average marriage rates.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mgji4ksywrqdfao3mvlrxasu/bafkreid3cuv7r5kd7qc627ybdhpq4y3y2bfozoor32rdwnhbakrakiz7si)

the pronatalism could be its whole own doc—as usual, the “extremism” begins much earlier in his timeline, but because it was expressed as white and male supremacy it apparently gets a pass for years

Why do Republicans have an obsession with having more babies? Well, I am glad you asked, it's called Pronatalism, which sounds harmless. The real intent is to ensure the dominance of the white race. Pronatalism is just racism & eugenics by another name

Pronatalism, homophobia, & ableism, yeah.
Ensuring people are in their strict assigned gender roles and performing them to expectations.
Infertile people, even if cishet , are discriminated against & punished.
But also “go forth and multiply” and “we need bodies for work and war”.
