Activist Michele Goodwin criticized President Trump's proposed incentives for women to have children, suggesting they are linked to demographic fears and child labor. Goodwin, speaking on MSNBC, explained that such policies are motivated by the legacy of replacement theory, reflecting societal anxieties about shifting racial demographics. She highlighted how these plans may exploit women and lead to increased child labor, recalling a historical context where children worked excessively without protections. Overall, Goodwin frames the administration's approach as exploitative and driven by an attempt to shape the workforce amidst changing population dynamics.
"It's not unusual that governments would create an incentive for people to raise families... what you've pointed out... is that here are these policies that I think are meant to do two things."
"Some Republicans want to see a big boost in child labor... thereâs a part two that comes a century ago when child labor had no protections whatsoever."
