People can't afford housing, gas, groceries, college educations, student debt, and are under threat of losing their jobs to AI, so by all means, more babies!

Two: Maybe we'd have more babies in this country if you weren't so busy deporting them and their families.

(4,663 posts)... under-brainied.
None of Trump's confederacy of dunces has the remotest clue what they're talking about. Oz just pulls numbers out of his ass, thinking that if the demented psychopath he works for can do it, so can he.

Or is he like those grannies who tell people who get a female puppy or kitten to "don't fix them until they've had a litter or they'll be vicious" - stating that females need to have babies or it hurts their health.
Tell that to the 10 -20% of women throughout history who died of pregnancy complications. Far greater percentage of dying early due to pregnancy complications or pregnancy- related hormonal imbalances than some sort of cancer because you never had kids or were on birth control.

(194 posts)As of the most recent 20242025 data, over 70,000 children and youth/young adults in the United States are currently in foster care with a permanency plan of adoption, meaning they are legally free to be adopted. The total number of children in foster care is higherestimated around 329,000 to 391,000. (National Council for Adoption).
This number does not include those that have been adopted and are being neglected, physically or sexually abused, or psychologically traumatized due to the agencies' or private attorney's failure to screen the prospective parents beyond their net worth.
Oh, that's right, your formal policy is that you don't care about them once they are born, especially POC, PWD, LGBITQA...who you actively kill slowly through oppressive policy and societal marginalization and neglect.
Equally as moronic, you actively block responsible, productive, and qualified LGBTIQA people from adopting, because of your anti-christian Christianity.

Nothing changes, everything stays the same for the men who control the entire planet.
