In a country that offers so little support to parents,...

Tax the Hell out of them, then pretend the only way parents could afford children is with government handouts.

Government can give you nothing it does not first take away.

It’s reality, not a belief.

Keep your children safe from the govt predators

Plenty of support to mothers. None to fathers.

The father can lose all custody upon his wife's whim. She can divorce, take the house he worked for and keep him on the financial hook, then have her new boyfriend raise the father's kids.

In addition to support from the father, the mother gets all sorts of freebies from the government. Free daycare, schooling (three free meals a day for the kids), food stamps, and all sorts of welfare.

All the result of the godless and hedonistic ideologies of the Left.

“there is a persistent, pernicious belief that the only way to be invested in a child’s life is to be a parent.”

Yep, of course, that’s the real problem! Not the craven men using women as objects or the women deciding to kill their own child. How about we start there, then worry about the lack of extra parental influence??

Parenting is pernicious?

Yikes!

people who say they don’t want to birth or parent children do have children in their lives — other people’s.

That is just plain creepy.

other people’s children are delightful at times. But other people’s children will not be around, or concerned in the least, when you turn old and need someone to take care of you in your last years on earth. Other people’s children will be too busy with their own parents.

How do these people expect the government to have the revenue to support them in their old age

The liberals are in charge of the country. By election fraud. And they’re as dumb as rocks.

At some point you need a person willing to be hated to just get in and make it stop

childbearing bodies own the clumps of cells they produce. but it takes a village or several of them to satisfy a predator.

.....Ella and Cole Emhoff......

They are so weird (especially Ella), and are simply gushing over having a celebrity step-parent!

But kamala is in no way a mother—either to these young people or to the nation that she purports to lead. Phooey!

Child support, one sided.

It is a goodly happenstance that Glynnis MacNicol will not reproduce. It’s better for all of us.

Judging by this article indicates this woman’s choice to not have children is both a wise decision and the direct result of finding nobody willing to procreate with her. The angry unlaid woman is a bitter woman.

Seven days a week jobs and childcare can be shared.

Week 1

Mom 1
4 days job
3 days childcare
Mom 2
4 days child care
3 days job

Week 2

Mom 2
4 days job
3 days childcare
Mom 1
4 days child care
3 days job

If the workday is 10 hours long, each mom will average 35 hours a week working on average.

NOTE: It would be an entirely a private initiative, so it does not appear on my profile page as a campaign platform issue.

In 2024, unlike 1924, many companies like grocery stores, Walmart and Amazon operate seven days a week.

Parents are not children. It is their job to support themselves.

Flat out industrial strength bullshit. I am 60 years old and have never heard that sentiment ever. What is she talking about?

Has this dumb woman heard of volunteering at organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club? Big Brothers Big Sisters?

Childless woman could never have a real frame of reference of what child bearing life means in any sense. No more so than watching a football game lets the viewer understand what it takes to be a QB.

Poor woman has to intellectualize her empty, pointless life to retain some rationalization of her choices. She’ll find out the consequences of her misguided life as she ages and becomes more and more alone.
