“If we’re truly pro-life, we should also be fighting for the life of those #children who are raped & molested,” said the author of the bill, Democratic Rep. Delisha Boyd, who argued that under #Louisiana’s current law young victims of #rape are forced to carry babies to term.

Rep #HakeemJeffries of New York, the Democratic minority leader, issued a statement describing Dr. Hayden as an “accomplished, principled & distinguished” leader of the #library.

“Donald #Trump’s unjust decision to fire Dr. Hayden in an email sent by a random political hack is a disgrace & the latest in his ongoing effort to #ban #books, #whitewash #AmericanHistory & turn back the clock,” Jeffries said.

#Trump appointed 3 Hollywood *veterans* #JonVoight [conspiracy theorist & #racist], #SylvesterStallone [#SexualAssault & #ViolenceAgainstWomen offender] & #MelGibson [#ConspiracyTheorist & racist], in January, to bring #Hollywood back "bigger, better & stronger than ever before."

[aside: someone recently accused me of hypocrisy because I was against #Trump’s #FamilySeparation policy & also for so-called nontraditional #families, they said the fact that I am not against #divorce, exclusively man/woman marriage & children, made me a hypocrite. What I have to say to that:

…Ms. Waters, who recently co-wrote a #Heritage report on infertility.… has proposed directing the #NIH to expand its study of infertility & reproductive health conditions, including endometriosis. She has also proposed using govt funds to…*educate* #women on their #MenstrualCycles & their “natural fertility,” such as cycle-charting courses that many conservative #Christian women use to try to prevent pregnancy without using birth control [idiotic].

…The most ambitious plans for *#family* formation will not materialize right away, many movement leaders said. That is partially because, while other countries have tried a variety of approaches, it’s not yet clear what kind of policies will best incentivize people to have more babies — or whether those kinds of policy incentives are effective at all. Many ideas, like an expanded child tax credit or a “baby bonus,” would require an act of #Congress.

Some #Trump admin leaders have already begun enacting policies that promote larger #families. Most notably, Transportation Secy Sean Duffy—who is a father of 9 & has 10 siblings—published a memo early this year pledging to prioritize #funding in areas w/higher than average birth & marriage rates. Several analysts within the dept say the policy could result in less money for large, urban transit, & more for highways & car-share services in rural areas [white suburbs].

“Pronatalism strictly speaks to having more babies,” said Emma Waters, a policy analyst at the #HeritageFoundation, the #conservative think tank that led #Project2025. Waters, who says she is concerned about the birthrate but does not identify as a pronatalist, added: “Our ultimate goal is not just more babies but more families formed.”

#Trump, #JDVance & #Musk have cultivated the movement by publicly highlighting issues related to #family policy & “pronatalism” — both in the lead up to the election, & since Trump took office. Speaking to a crowd in January at the March for Life, an anti-abortion rally, Vance said he wanted “more babies in the United States of America” & more “beautiful young men & women” to raise them.

Last month, Trump pledged to be “the fertilization president.”

Much of the movement is built around *promoting* [dictating] a very specific idea of what constitutes a #family — one that includes #marriage between a #man & a #woman, & leaves out many #families that don’t conform to traditional #gender roles or family structures. In contrast to the intense emphasis on cost cutting so far during #Trump’s second term, this focus on families could result in spending more money to back a *new* set of priorities.

“I just think this administration is inherently *pronatalist*,” said the activist Simone Collins, referring to the movement to reverse declining birthrates.

Collins, along w/her husband, Malcolm Collins, sent the #Trump admin several draft #ExecutiveOrders, including one that would bestow a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with six or more children. [ummm what???]

Admin ofcls have not indicated what ideas…they might ultimately embrace. But advocates expressed confidence that *fertility issues* will become a prominent piece of the agenda, noting that #Trump has called for a “baby boom” & pointing to the symbolic power of seeing #JDVance & other top ofcls attend public events w/their #children.

Those ideas, & others, are emerging from a movement [purportedly] concerned w/declining birthrates that has been gaining steam for years & now has allies in the US admin, including #JDVance & #ElonMusk. Policy experts & advocates of boosting the birthrate have been meeting w/ #Trump aides, sometimes handing over written proposals on ways to help or *convince* #women to have more #babies, per 4 people who have been part of the meetings….

#Trump’s order calls the #Smithsonian’s evolving approach a “revisionist” history “with a distorted narrative driven by ideology rather than truth” that is “inherently racist, sexist, oppressive, or otherwise irredeemably flawed.”

Does he just describe himself but sub the names of the institutions he attacks wherever his name was?

The #Smithsonian, the official keeper of the American story, has operated independently as a public-private partnership created by an act of #Congress in 1846. #Trump’s #ExecutiveOrder is an unprecedented act to edit an institution that — reflective of the nation itself — has expanded to include a wider, richer & more diverse telling of the nation’s #history.
