"Pronatalism is an old idea with roots in eugenics and nationalism, that is now fashionable among far-right influencers and policymakers. They talk of “moral decay” and see low birth rates as a threat to the future of humanity. In the mainstream media, pronatalism looks like father-of-14 Elon Musk blaming those who choose not to procreate for our nation’s low fertility rate and discouraging the use of contraception. This political agenda is shared by influencers like Simone and Malcolm Collins, the venture capitalist poster couple who champion the pronatalist movement, selling family expansion as a civic duty.

Paywalled, but mentions the medal of honor above the fold. Gist of the Article: The article reviews the 1970s feminist movement Wages for Housework, as detailed in historian Emily Callaci’s book. It discusses the campaign’s radical push to have governments pay women for domestic labor, arguing that unpaid housework and childcare are central to the economy. The movement also envisioned social structures like public laundromats and daycares to support women’s autonomy. The article connects this historical movement to contemporary pronatalist concerns about declining birth rates, noting that policies like those proposed by Wages for Housework—such as universal childcare and financial support for families—could address modern economic barriers to motherhood more effectively than current pronatalist proposals (e.g., one-time payments or medals for mothers). It critiques the conservative pronatalist agenda for glorifying traditional motherhood without addressing practical needs and highlights the feminist movement’s broader vision for societal support for families.

Give birth? In this economy? US women scoff at Trump’s meager ‘baby bonuses’

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/13/trump-baby-bonus-childbirth-pronatalism

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FeWxGbxIvmoswsWAZe-Cvry0qPXiD-3n/view?usp=sharing

Nothing novel. Summary of the Article: The article examines the Trump administration’s consideration of pronatalist policies, such as a proposed $5,000 “baby bonus” for each birth, aimed at increasing the US birthrate. These measures are part of a broader political movement—embraced by both traditional conservatives and tech-affiliated right-wing figures like Elon Musk—that views declining birthrates as a national crisis. However, many American women, especially those of childbearing age, are highly critical of these policies, arguing that a one-time bonus is grossly inadequate given the high costs of childbirth, childcare, and raising a child in the US. Women interviewed express that what they truly need are systemic reforms: universal healthcare, affordable childcare, and lower living costs. They see the proposed bonuses as out of touch with economic realities, especially as the administration also pursues cuts to programs like Medicaid and the Department of Education, which many families rely on. Critics argue that the administration’s approach is less about supporting families and more about encouraging births for political or ideological reasons. The article also highlights the historical and social context of pronatalism, noting its ties to past authoritarian regimes and its intersection with issues of race and ableism. Some fear that the movement’s focus is not on all Americans, but primarily on encouraging certain demographics—particularly white women—to have more children. Despite the political push, evidence from other countries suggests that even generous pronatalist policies have little effect on birthrates, as many people simply do not want more children or cannot afford them. Ultimately, the article underscores widespread skepticism among women toward the Trump administration’s pronatalist efforts, with many seeing them as insufficient, misdirected, or even coercive in nature

How Trump Offended Women With 'Baby Bonus' For A 'Baby Boom' Policy

The article examines the growing interest in pronatalism—the promotion of higher birth rates—especially among the American right, and the policy proposals being considered to address declining birth rates, such as financial incentives for having children. While the author acknowledges that demographic decline is a serious issue with significant long-term consequences, they express skepticism about large-scale government interventions and warn of potential pitfalls.

Incorrectly frames us as eugenicists. (The author argues that both the Technonatal Right and Antinatal Left sever procreation from marriage and commodify children, treating them as entitlements or instruments rather than persons with inherent dignity. From a Catholic perspective, the article calls for rejecting both extremes, advocating instead for a pro-marriage, pro-family culture where children are welcomed as gifts, not as products of technological manipulation or social engineering. The solution to infertility and population decline, according to the author, is not found in eugenics or technological fixes but in fostering traditional marriage, openness to life, and support for adoption and foster care.)

"Simone Collins, a pronatalist who wrote one of the suggestions offered to the administration, told the New York Times, I believe the Trump administration is pronatalist by temperament.” There is even a proposal to create a “National Maternity Medal” for ladies with six or more children. This narrative has been supported by officials such as Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who recently directed the department to emphasize localities with higher marriage and birth rates than the national average. However, not everyone supports these actions."
