Don't worry, Republicans will solve this by banning abortion and birth control nationwide!

They are always thinking of the children.

And legalizing marriage to minors. And outlawing comprehensive sexual education.

Also, we need to be clear, rape is such a harsh word, it's not fair to ruin someone's whole career over a little misunderstanding like consent...

It's such a steep [word] for 20 minutes of action.

Conservatives are thinking of the children. How is that unclear?

Fight against SA protection in the workplace and push more children to work to live? Anything is better than the Great Replacement right? /s

But honestly thinking about what terrible combination of policies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A few Republicans also rape and traffic minors just to show how dedicated they are to countering the declining birth rate!

Pizzagate was projection.

They misspoke. A few don't.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Only a few do both!

Okay, so on an actual serious note -- Historically, this has actually been the lever that's been pulled by government in order to control population growth.

The problem is that we've grown so much as a society that we now realize that bodily-autonomy is a human right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are ways they can promote population growth, if that is something we really want. Better and free school lunches would be a start. Childcare. Pre-K education. Free college. Health-care. And generally a more wealthy middle class.

The biggest reason people are having fewer kids is money.

There was a theory that roughly 15 years after Roe v Wade crime started decreasing because people who weren't ready for or didn't want children could now have an abortion. Many of those kids that were previously born "unwanted" were in poor households and so the kids getting to about 15 years old in those conditions would start getting into trouble and start committing crimes.

For any fuckwit that says "make better decisions then! Use protection!" I'm the result of a broken condom, that shit absolutely happens. I was a "pleasant surprise." Honestly I wish they'd have just had the abortion.

Will it hurt baby top of his head?

I like that: it sounds Spanish.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (4 children)

It's a reference to a meme video of someone reading misspelled Yahoo answer users asking pregnancy questions. It's quite entertaining.

YouTube Link to the video in question.

HOW IS BABBY FORMED.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Do not quote the old magic to me. I was there when it was written.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought it was a reference to the song. YouTube link

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

That song is actually a reference to the older video that I linked to. It shows the original creator, JT Sexkik as a credit in the beginning.

What do you know. If it takes two people to pay the rent them two people have to work to pay the rent...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

While true, this is mostly about teen pregnancy. So it's moreso that things like education, easy access to contraception, legalizing abortion, etc. were the primary drivers. Not to worry though, the supreme court and fascists are working hard to reverse all that. We need poor children to feed the machine

Not to call out OP, but does anyone have this information in anything other than .png format? There's no timestamps, hyperlinks, or citations anywhere here. I'd love to send this to other people, but I'm not about to copy-pasta something that could be old or inaccurate.

Not the exact image posted, but this appears to be the source

Fantastic. Thank you!

I have a modest proposal.

Let’s all just skip a generation and no one have kids this time. We can easily start having kids again later with a nice clean slate.

Good idea, right?

youd have to be pretty narcissistic to bring a child into the current environment
