A new bill in Ohio, co-sponsored by two Republican state representatives, seeks to declare the weeks between Mother's Day and Father's Day as 'Natural Family Month.' This legislation, driven by concerns over declining birth rates, aims to emphasize the importance of two-parent households. Critics argue that while the bill does not overtly exclude LGBTQ+ families, it promotes traditional family structures, aligning with advocacy from right-wing groups focused on pro-natalist positions. The proponents of the bill believe that supporting these family models is crucial for the future stability and growth of the population.
Williams stated, 'H.B. 262 is about more than policy - it's about promoting the economic and social stability that comes from raising children in healthy, two-parent households.'
The bill designates the weeks from Mother's Day to Father's Day as 'Natural Family Month,' aiming to encourage higher birth rates through the promotion of 'natural families.'
