"You don’t convince women in a free country to have more babies for the sake of the fatherland. If you want to encourage family formation and increase the birth rate, you can’t treat women as breeder mares."

Oh and how about the novel concept of making life affordable for the 98% of the population who are not excessively wealthy.
Making housing, food, education, and healthcare accessible and affordable to all would encourage people to have families. It’s why I didn’t have kids, I couldn’t afford it.
This administration cuts virtually all programs for families that can’t provide for their children unless both parents work multiple jobs?
Head Start - gutted
Dept. of Education - gutted
Medicaid - slashed by 880 Billion
Maternal Care - gutted
God forbid you miscarry- incarcerated or bleed out
In Canada maternity leave is 1 year at 55% pay. In the UK up to 90% pay for first 39 weeks. In the US 12 weeks, no pay. This might have a bit to do with declining birth rate.
If it's made very difficult to have children, almost financially impossible for millions, you're right - it says a lot about what sort of future the child could expect.
Also maybe check to see if there's support for more kids ie. child care..tax credits ..free and available kindergarten..parental leave ..free Healthcare ..dental care..maternity leave with affordable medical support ...eh?
