Women aren’t having kids because of the president – according to one “motherhood clarity” therapist.
On May 31, The Washington Post weighed in on the “child-free life” and “Why so many American women are deciding not to have kids.” Inside the piece, columnist Petula Dvorak outlined multiple reasons, including President Trump.
Dvorak centered her piece on a recent report by the National Center for Health Statistics that showed a “sinking” U.S. birth rate. In 2017, only “3.8 million babies were born,” she wrote, which was the “lowest number in three decades.”
There are “plenty of reasons,” wrote Dvorak, from the wage gap to paid leave for new parents. And then there was President Trump.
“What about a Trump effect?” she asked. According to marriage and family therapist Ann Davidman, it’s affecting the birth rate.
“I talked to one therapist in left-coast California who specializes in helping women decide whether they want to become mothers,” Dvorak said of Davidman. “She said a potential client canceled her spot in a class right after the election.”
Davidman remembered that woman leaving a message declaring, “When Trump was elected, I didn’t need your class to decide.” She’s not alone. According to Dvorak, Davidman has “heard lots of versions of that.”
That’s because Davidman has access to “hundreds of women struggling with motherhood” as a “Motherhood Clarity Mentor” online.

In a 2017 blog, Davidman revealed that she herself is “delighted—overjoyed, really— that I do not have a child.” For undecided women, she suggests they “go deep inside and ask” two questions: “Do you want to be a mom?” and “Do you want to raise a child, or do you want to contribute to the next generation?”
But does it have to be an either-or situation? Davidman forgets that raising a child doesn’t just contribute to the next generation; it creates it.
It’s only been one gestation period since the tax cuts kicked in. Wait.
They must be preparing to go back into the workforce tnere are so many jobs available now!
Wow....the leftists ARE crazy.
What a bunch of snowflakes.
What happened to old reliable - I got a headache.
I noticed the ‘Therapist’ didn’t ask something else;
Are these women also going without sex ‘to protest President Trump’? Of course that would first require finding women with a man in their lives or at very least a significant other’.
Some single women are determined to satisfy there urge to be a mother, man or no man. Those who can afford to will simply
make arrangements with the right sort of doctor and prepare for life as a Single Mom. At least that sort of child would be wanted, but poverty becomes more likely with only one money provider in the family.
It’s still a different story for most men, though.
More surprise and dismay is expressed for a missing mother than for a missing father. One is far more common than the other.
Some women aren’t having kids because they aborted them, others were convinced by Algire they are overpopulating, and others have decided to be homosexual. All three liberal positions that are left wing holy Grail a.
Instinctual. When a generation of war is coming women pump em out, when faced with a generation of peace, slow it down.
At least that’s the old wives tail. (no pun intended)
This sounds just like the climate change activists, where they attribute every ill in the world to climate change.
Nowadays, everything liberals find to complain about is caused by Donald Trump.
Here we go again. Blame shifting. This blame game is a common psychological trick Narcissists and other toxic, emotionally immature people use to abuse victims. It what children do and adults who are still children do when they have grown up to be narcissists. Narcissistic blame-shifting is when a person does something wrong or inappropriate, and then dumps the blame on someone else to avoid taking responsibility for their own behavior and insisting that their Flying Monkey enablers agree. In this case, blame-shifting is done to shift the responsibility for a problem on someone you want to slander. It is evil beyond words and a sickness that infects the Left.
As a matter of fact my son and his wife just had a little girl, both my nieces are pregnant as is my nephews wife. This woman has her head up her vajajay if she can't see all the pregnant women there are right now, not even counting all the Asian tourista babies and anchor babies being popped out.
Good, these kids will be total failures anyways. Lazy, entitled and wanting free stuff all their lives without wanting to work.
Yup. Fewer future democrats being brought into the world. I’m not sure I see the problem.
It’s sure not working on my daughters ...their ovaries are running high voltage
Ditto Edward Heart Institute in Naperville IL where I was recently

It’s work but it brings you so close and a sense of purpose living outside yourself
Does that mean she is feckless? 😁🤣
"...Fewer future democrats being brought into the world..."
Something about Trump brings their Man Hating nature to the surface.
Didn’t the Dem women say to cut your man off for punishment? Not a Bobbit trim though!
