VP Harris isn't "childless." She's been a stepmom for 10 years. That "counts."
Can we not buy into the Right's narrative that parenting only happens with one's own uterus, by State coercion if needed?
Sing it with me: families look like lots of things, and love makes a family.

Right: One man, one woman, and only by birth. No one else matters.

to having such a dysfunctional father.
They want to destroy the family unit.
so when they see people BEHAVING differently, they have to run through their inner library of conspiracies that explain the deviant behaviour because "theyre just different" doesnt register
It IS actually possible to care about other people, just because they exist.
"You must love your children, since they're your family," makes me wonder whether they'd care for anyone without that requirement.
Kamala gets to make confusing mom aphorisms.
Anyone disagrees, they can take a hike. 😹
On a short pier...
Step-parents (the good ones that actually take care of their families, obvs) are goddamn heroes

And called his time in office his administration, not MY generals, MY military.
And wrote a book of manners & loved to dance.
because banning it's a clearer pro-life case than banning abortion,
but they also want well-off white people to be able to have more kids if they want.
ick
We are family.
We are America.
Needless to say: Parenting is not a job requirement for running a whole-ass country.
But: Let's keep our facts straight when this particular thing does come up, eh?
In 2008, I heard a reporter ask Sarah Palin why she had 5 kids. Not a Palin fan, but WTF? Why is that relevant? And if it is, where are the questions to John McCain about having 7 children?
1) mis-defining parent as an egg or sperm donor
2) plenty of parents are terrible people who have done terrible things- parent does not equal good leader
and back in the gay marriage fight those hypocrites were saying our marriage didn't count because we hadn't had kids.
So nice of Newt Gingrich and later Trump to be Defending My Marriage.
