    It’s funny that Republicans want to force women to have babies but then also complain about women that have too many babies and refer to them as “welfare babies” but also want to defund social aid programs and not provide additional resources to foster kids and orphanages.

    (I know that was a run-on sentence.)

      It all makes sense when you realize it has nothing to do with children. They just hate women who have sex and want to punish them for it.

      Well, it was a run-on thought! It really does feel that convoluted when you try and figure it out, but rest assured, you’ve now thought about this in more depth than most conservatives!

      They want the right kind of babies.

      “Welfare babies” are babies born to poor and working class parents.

      They want middle class white people breeding like rabbits, though.

        If they want that they should make it financially viable to do so. I want kids, but realistically I can’t afford it. I’m not going to be irresponsible and inflict existence on somebody if I can’t care for them properly.
