The Trump administration is considering policy measures aimed at increasing birth rates among American women, including controversial proposals like a $5,000 cash bonus and a 'National Medal of Motherhood' for those with six or more children. These proposals are part of a broader pro-natalist movement, which historically has connections to extremist ideologies. While attempting to encourage larger family sizes, the administration has simultaneously enacted policies that may jeopardize maternal health, particularly through the dismantling of federal abortion protections, which have led to dire consequences for pregnant women.
Trump administration's proposals to boost birth rates focus on incentives like a $5,000 baby bonus, ignoring essential support measures like subsidized childcare and paid leave.
The pro-natalist movement, supported by Trump and far-right influencers, aims to reverse declining birth rates, often fueled by extreme and misogynistic ideologies.
