The White House is apparently assessing ways to persuade women to have more children, including baby bonuses and menstrual cycle classes. Here's the NYT article on the topic.
Their concern is that the birthrate has been dropping since 2007. So instead of figuring out why that is the case, they are just figuring out ways to rectify it. And, let's be clear here, they don't care about black, Hispanic, Jewish, etc. birthrates. They care about white Christian birthrates in their push for conservative family values. Let's break this down. If you hadn't heard (and how could you have not), on Saturday, April 5, there was a massive "Hands off" protest across the country and internationally. We were gonna go, but one of our cats wasn't feeling well, so we stayed home with her instead. Based on what I've heard of crowd size, it may have been a good thing as my anxiety probably wouldn't have handled it well.
Since I couldn't attend, I thought I would write out my list of hands-off items. A list that wouldn't have fit onto a single sign. This is a statement that the current president recently stated in an interview. "We're going to have tremendous, tremendous goodies in the bag for women too, the women between the fertilization and all of the other things that we're talking about. It's going to be, it's going to be great." This was said at a White House event celebrating Women's History Month. A celebration, I might add, that the rest of the federal government was told to no longer celebrate cause it was "DEI." Note the hypocrisy.
"Tremendous goodies" for women. Let's see, what goodies could be in store for us. Let's hit the ground running with one of the most controversial women's rights topic: Abortion.
When I was young, I was a pro-lifer. My long-time friends can confirm this. I couldn't fathom the idea of aborting something that would eventually become your child. It wasn't something I would do, so why would someone else do it. However, as with most intelligent people, I learned and grew from this notion. |
Welcome to HopefullyMAD. Here, I share my thoughts and opinions on topics that are important to me.
Why did I choose the name HopefullyMAD? Right now, I am MAD at the world and its treatment of human beings. Nobody should be made to feel less than. But I am also Hopeful. Without hope, what is there to fight for? I fight because of my hope for a better world. Why not MADhopeful? Here's why; because I hope that you are MAD too. I hope that you are so MAD that you join me and others in this fight for our rights back. Be hopeful. Be MAD. Be HopefullyMAD. Categories
