Is this just for deterring teen pregnancies? Or is also about population control in general and convincing people not to reproduce?

Probably both and also to put the kids' on lists with CPS for further investigation when they become parents themselves.

They do nothing that doesn't have another sinister reason for doing so.

Hi, Tax-chick-!
“ It’s a little sling-chair on a metal frame with a battery-powered motor that makes it vibrate while the baby sleeps peacefully for hours and hours. “
_______________________________________________

The first time I saw that on a clip I almost fell out of my chair! It allows the baby to look around if it’s a ‘watcher,’ and that is such a plus!

My older son was such a ‘watcher,’ and we purchased multiple baby seats to get the one he was happy with as he watched the actions of those around him.

My first rational thought was to wonder if they make those for adults!

RealCare Babies are fluid-free. They don’t consume, spill, spit, or emit anything, let alone shoot it across the room in projectile fashion.
………………………………………………………………….

Thereby eliminating a significant percentage of infant care.

Is Greta Thunberg one of those robots?

Sadly, that would be a unit programmed by demons. May God grant her "repentance to the acknowledging of the truth." (2 Timothy 2:25)

What's wrong with shaking a digital baby, and kick it around the yard for good measure, maybe the dog would like to play with it too.

It's not real!

This is all just BS nonsense. Let kids be kids.

An old picture or a wax figure of your dad or President Regan may not be "real" either, but such represent something, and treating a representation of something precious like it was a dog bone - which is how liberals often treat patriotic representations - inculcates disrespect.

Once kids begin to treat representations as trash than it is easier to do so in real life.

I can say if I developed the product I would have it screaming bloody murder, and have a camera in it watching those kids pee their.

Digital isn’t real.

Yes, but it remains that abusing a life-like representation, which is there to train you how to treat a real one, does not say much for the one who does it, and can actually reveal some negative aspects of a person.

I did plenty of bad stuff myself, but when we played tackle football, in T-shirts and jeans it meant there was a consequence to force (except when we pushed the 300lb kid from behind) to gain yardage:).

Digital isn’t real.

Sadly it seems some kids does not fully recognize the distinction, and suppose you can act real life is like it was a video game, or that characters in the former are like those of the latter. But trying to run like Gale Sayers will wake you up.
