      They envision an American Lebensborn program. I hate to tell Fox viewers, but it wouldn’t be incels doing the deed.

    These are the same people who claim that kids shouldn’t get sex ed in public school because they’re too young and innocent to understand sex or safe sex. That abstinence-only is the best lesson.

      To them? It is. Because young girls aged 13-17 are “the most fertile” or some remarkably gross ass shit.

      I don’t know if “preventing teen pregnancy” was truly the goal. Controlling women and their sexuality was more the goal. The real problem was their daughter getting pregnant by someone not of the parents’ choosing.

      Well, pregnancy in general. It’s based on “continued growth.” It cannibalizes itself in any other conditions, well, in general.

        Capitalism eventually cannibalizes itself as well but they seem to be perfectly fine with the state of the world.

      Not just capitalism, same with communism and any other economic system. You want to have more young people than old people because old people don’t work. Of course it doesn’t have to be teen pregnancy, but people need to be having kids.

        capitalism demands teen pregnancy

        not just capitalism, same with … any other economic system

        Of course it doesn’t have to be teen pregnancy

        So they demand teen pregnancy but it doesn’t have to be teen pregnancy

    Breaking news! The party for defending pedos is defending raping minors! Who could have seen that coming? More news at 10!

      I wouldn’t even go as far to defend raping minors (they totally 100% do), but they’re also upset that young girls aren’t getting pregnant at all, even through consensual sex with a male partner of their age group. All those damn liberal types are educating grooming our kids into “safe sex” and giving them “autonomy over their own decisions”. More kids are growing up with more information about sex and that is resulting in a drop in youth pregnancies.

      And that is what is upsetting them.

    When I was in high school over 20 years ago they made us read The Handmaids Tale. I laughed thinking that book was so extreme and pessimistic. I’m not laughing anymore.

      I read that book after graduating high school in the deep south a decade-ish before you did, and it was so validating to me see that someone else also saw how dangerous Christofascists are. I doubt our school library would have been allowed to carry it, much less assign it as reading.

    People having kids too young contributes to both worker drones for the capitalist class and exploitable youth for the e-suite. Our current wave of transphobia was started with the intention of making trans people more exploitable.

    Or, OR, hear me out, people are having to wait longer to be financially stable enough to bring a child into this world care care for them with the proper resources. Either that, or people just don’t want to bring children into this world. Nah, couldn’t be those reasons.

      Right?? 20 should be the optimal time to have kids. We should reorder society around that.

      I know someone who is 40 and their mom is 80. Its not ideal!! Actually it sucks!!

        I don’t know why the downvotes. Mid 20 for men and women is the best time to have healthy children and be active, good parents.

        It’s when people would naturally have kids if capitalists held up the social contract and a single income with a degree or after 5-10 years experience was enough to buy a house and start a family.

          Maybe they thought I meant that current 20 year olds should get on to having kids. I don’t believe in any sort of obligation like that, its pretty impossible right now unless you are wealthy.

          Nor do I believe there is anything wrong with older parents. Nor do I believe anyone should feel obligated to have kids.

          It should be easy to have kids at 20, though, not life ruining. I agree with you 100%

          And hasn’t recent information pushed the age of “brain maturity” back to about 25 too?
