He wants to be known as the "fertilization president."

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.

    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.
