10. You can also see this in many of the "stars" on the radtrad EWTN channel...

...and other Catholic right-wing media like (Ir)-Relevant Radio. So many of the women are beyond their childbearing years, and many are also late-in-life converts who never had large families themselves. And when you look into the personal histories of the younger "stars", you also don't see them practicing what they preach. Numerous show hosts are Millennials or Gen Xers who should have at least several children by now, but that is so rarely the case. One wonders if part of the problem is that these media organizations pay such lousy wages that the talent can't afford to have multiple children!

Another good example is Lila Rose, founder of the radical anti-abortion group Live Action, who is always featured on the radtrad networks (she's an Opus Dei convert). She's 35 and only just recently had a son.
