WTF

Edit: I wasn’t sure what I was appalled by at first but now I realize it’s that this fucking medal just encourages women to be treated no better than a prized heifer.

    the Trump administration has shown signs of enthusiasm for a pronatalist agenda. DOGE head Elon Musk, a father of 14, posts regularly on social media about the need for Americans to have more babies; he has also promoted NatalCon on X. Vice President JD Vance has proposed the idea of a weighted voting system, in which the votes cast by parents would be valued more highly than those by the childless. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy (a father of nine) signed a memo recommending that his department prioritize “communities with marriage and birth rates higher than the national average.”

    Got to provide a continuous supply of children for the labour camps.

    That’s what women of child bearing age want and need. A medal. Not jobs, food, housing, security, nor equality.

      Also those child-bearing age women do not want nor need maternity care, and are TOTALLY into receiving a huge hospital bill after giving birth.

      goes along nicely with the female celebrity “astronauts” from last week. “Putting the ‘ass’ in astronauts”, They said. “There will be eyelash extensions floating around the capsule”, and saying that they were very concerned about their hair in space. Thats is who the republicans need women to be. less concern about the stuff you mentioned, more referring to yourself as a piece of ass who will be required to make a whole lot of babies. Got it?

    The truth is that Trump is a poster child for why abortion should not only be legal, but encouraged.

    I feel like I missed part of the article where it said that the current administration was planning on distributing this medal. What I read was more along the lines of them saying that the current administration is potentially implementing some pronatalist policies and the it describes one policy promoted by a pronatalist group, but nothing about the current administration planning on implementing that specific policy.

    Not saying any of this is good and I tend to mentally gloss over parts of text that I read, I’m just earnestly missing where it says that specific policy is one that is being looked into and I would appreciate someone pointing it out to me.

      You’re not wrong. The link seems to be based on a couple who are very pro-babies sending the idea of the mother medal to the Trump administration. Then, the article talks about how conservatives are trying to change the national dialogue about having kids and showed several quotes posted on social media saying why having babies is great.

      The author of the article seems to be the one who made the link. They probably aren’t wrong, but it wasn’t the Trump admin who came up with it or started talking about it.

    Trump is the sum of the reasons I won’t procreate and can shove every single medal up his rectum to form Trump piñata. However, we can then string him up and take turns beating Trump-yata with a bat until we all get a medal, and the world will be on its way to healing.

      This is the more accurate comparison. Yes, Trump’s government is like nazi Germany in many respects but the pronatalist movement is straight out the Putin playbook.

      the US Government is bought, paid for, and owned by the Russian Mafia. So much so that the Subordinate tries to emulate the master in every facet now.
