Could it be that theyre afraid of bringing a child into the world YOURE currently building?
A world where youll let a starving child go hungry at school, let a 6 year old access a loaded firearm at home, or let an 18 year old future school shooter buy two AR-15s and more ammo than an army would need in the span of a few days?
Could it be that youre not promising to help parents manage the devastatingly expensive reality of childcare costs? Even worse than that, you simply dont care? Could it be that youre trying to take away their healthcare? Or that youre talking about no longer offering lifesaving childhood vaccines?

wont matter much if their bellies are empty and mom has to live in a car with them. And will matter even less if mom just died from childbirth or miscarriage.
This is a cold, cold country.

These are the GOP values a lot of kids are forced to learn today, whether the parents want them to or not.
