In 20 years there’s going to be more voting Republican babies than Democrat babies
The compost may want to check out Hungary.
Why not? The Democrats bought more babies easily enough with welfare checks.
Are there any married couples out there thinking, “We do not want to have kids, but if the government will give us $5k, we will!”
Operation Rescue’s Randall Terry told this story about a protest at the Supreme Court sometime in the late 1980-early 1990 timeframe.
Both sides were toe-to-toe that day, and Terry stopped everybody and matter-of-factly told the leader on the other side “we’re going to win”.
“How do you figure that?”
Then Terry started polling the pro-abort side: how many kids do you have?
“None”, “0”, “0”, “1”, “None”...
Then he turned around to his own people and asked the same question.
“5”, “7”, “3”, “4”, “5”...
“That’s why we’re going to win.”
Too many young people, both men and women, do not see marriage and family as important life goals.
How did we get here?
Are too many just overgrown adolescents? Do they just want to have fun in life, and not be responsible for children?
Do many, particularly young women, focus on career development, and they can’t see how they would ever fit a child into such career development.?
Do many wonder how the heck they will ever afford a house to make a home for children., considering how damn expensive houses are nowadays in many parts of the country?
Do many, both men and women, think they can just put off indefinitely making decisions about having children, then buy the time they do decide to try for children, their fertility has declined , and it just doesn’t happen for them?
Stupid is as stupid does.
It’s been working for the Democrat’s favorite voting bloc, welfare queens.
Why not?
The Democrats did for 60 years....................
The WP is wrong and snarky about it, as usual.
"Sorry, Republicans?" Evidently, she's not sorry. But then again, maybe David Hogg will ask her out for a date......
My little brother and his wife had 5 kids. My brother was not particularly political, but his wife has always been extremely liberal and that is the way the kids were brought up. His kids are now in their late 20s to mid 30s. They are all married. Not one of them has any plans to have any children. They all claim that it is bad for the environment to have children. I am not sure if this is the real reason, but that is what they say.
My wife and I had only three kids, but they have given us eight grandkids. And one of our grandkids and his wife have been trying to start a family but have been having difficulties.
Things are certainly different now than when we baby boomers were kids. Most of my friends growing up had at least three kids in their family and many had quite a few more than that. There were kids all over the place... now it feels like the kingdom on the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang movie. My wife and I see very few kids when we are out and about. We almost always compliment the parents of children we see and thank them for having children. The world is not the same without them.
Maybe if the women looked less …. Ugly, babies would be flowing off the assembly line.
Childless Cat ladies are scared their membership may start falling.
I’m an old man but I have the impression that the current generation doesn’t know how to relate to each other very well. I look at social media, which occupies hours of young people’s lives every day, and I see men and women drawn to two entirely different universes. TikTok and facebook is mostly loopy females, and gender bent males. Guys are in for video games, porn, and youtube. Political sites are mostly conservatives = male; liberal/progressive= female and the above gender anomalies. Watching groups of adolescents on occasion, I have seen the meme of literally an entire group sitting together but each absorbed in his/her phone, with no one saying a word to anyone. jmho.
Christians are most likely to have these children; coupled with killing the Dept of Educ more Americans may be willing to raise children without the DNC Marxist Indroctrination pushed by a Govt Dept.
I hope more faithful godly married parents have more children in general yes.
Breeding human beings as commodities, increasing welfare rolls, and forever trying to make people turn out well without a good father and mother is mind numbingly stupid and cruel.
All these leftist women ranting against economic relief for young moms don’t understand something - no one is asking them to have babies. No one wants these people having babies. The relief is aimed at young conservative women and couples who want children, to ease the financial burden of having children a bit.
It is a terrible idea.
“Something more fundamental has changed, both in how women view their own lives and how they relate to men — and conservative men, specifically”
It is always the men’s fault. Always.
