Donald Trump this spring dubbed himself the "fertilization president.
But some conservative family policy advocates say hes done little so far to publicly back that up and are pushing to get the White House in the remaining months of the year to prioritize family policy and help Americans make more babies.
A top priority is a pronatalist or family policy summit that spotlights the U.S.s declining fertility rate. Other asks, which typically run through the White Houses Domestic Policy Council, include loosening regulations on day cares and child car seats, further increasing the child tax credit and requiring insurers to cover birth as well as pre- and post-natal care at no out-of-pocket cost.
While the Trump administration has advanced a handful of policies explicitly billed as pro-family, some conservative advocates are dismayed that the president has not done more on one of his campaigns most animating issues.

(17,760 posts)Plus, have you looked at all of the birthing video channels on YouTube? There are women there - young women - who are having their TENTH child.
I'm sorry, but that is fucking ridiculous. There is NO ONE who has enough time to properly parent TEN children the way they are supposed to be taken care of BY THE PARENTS! It winds up with the older kids saddled with the responsibilities of rearing the younger ones, and that's not how it's supposed to be.
And no, don't jump my ass saying "I had to look after my brothers and sisters when we were growing up". Teaching children responsibility is ONE thing - pushing the TOTAL and complete responsibility of raising a child onto another child is absolutely another.

That said. I am not thrilled at the prospect of my tax dollars being used to fund a national breeding policy, as well as various other treats, privileges and special rights for Americans who make the lifestyle choice to have kids.
