The Heritage Foundation’s latest document, “Saving America by Saving the Family: A Foundation for the Next 250 Years,” was published in January, and its purported goal is to reverse the country’s declining birthrate.

See, if you can’t physically force women to have more babies, which is what abortion restrictions aim to do, you design government policies that pressure women into having more babies.

You cut off opportunities outside the home, you make the public sphere hostile to women’s independence and you create a system where the only viable path left for a woman is dependence on a man for survival. In other words, you drag the country back to a time when women had fewer choices.

      On the bright side, women had already figured out how to get around no-fault divorce. We can always go back lol

        But this time the black widows will go to a procreation center instead of a prison, and their uteruses will be sold by the state or rather the contractor to patriot men…

        The hand maids tale, but without a shortage on fertile women will be way more disgusting

            I see no reason not to do this! Do me a favor and hold my phone? I get really bad vertigo. Everyone I know is always talking about it. Here, lemme unlock my phone in case you need to call any of my contacts should anything go awry. And don’t peek at my browser! I’m in the middle of filling out my life insurance information and just need to assign a beneficiary.

            Anyway, here I goooo!!! Wait, lemme put lotion on my hands in case the air is dry up there.

        Its just too bad making it so these people cannot operate or propagate in physical reality anymore is not a solution, so sad.
