📰 "A pervasive feeling of uncertainty may be contributing to the #babybust. Ann Berrington, a #demographer at the University of #Southampton, has shown that #childless Britons who think they are faring worse than their #parents at the same age are significantly less likely to expect to have a #baby. #Lowearners are also more likely to remain living at home."

Kremlin finds new enemies to target — Russians without kids
More than a decade since #Russian lawmakers banned LGBTQ+ #propaganda, the #Kremlin's self-declared crusade for “traditional values” has found a new target — Russians who don’t want children.
Russian State #Duma voted to outlaw support & promotion of “childfree propaganda,” effectively imposing fines on those who express such views.

#PeteButtigieg Calls Out #ShadyVance (#JDVance) at the #DNC—One #Veteran to Another. Shots were fired
The #Ohio #senator and #Republican #VP #Nominee previously claimed that the “#childless #left” have “no #physical #commitment to the #future of this #country”
#Buttigieg #rebuked Vance’s #controversial #comments about #childless #Americans by invoking his #wartime #deployment to #Afghanistan—something he called “pretty damn #physical.”

Republican vice presidential nominee JD #Vance really does love to run his mouth on podcasts.
The latest unearthed audio has him agreeing with a conservative podcast host on what women are for once we hit #menopause:
🔸Helping to raise children is “the whole purpose of the postmenopausal female.”
🔸The whole purpose.Vance has opinions about many different kinds of women.
🔸Those who don’t have kids are “#childless #cat #ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made and so they want to make the rest of the country miserable too”
🔸and #lack “a direct stake in the future of the country.”🔸Women who care about their #work and plan their families are #suckers:
“If your worldview tells you that it’s bad for women to become mothers but liberating for them to work 90 hours a week in a cubicle at the New York Times or Goldman Sachs, you’ve been had,”
he tweeted after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.🔸#Step mothers (and step parents generally), he has suggested, are 🔸not real parents.
We have not yet heard his views on the purpose of pre-pubescent girls, but he has said that he believes 🔸even #raped and impregnated children should be forced to give birth,
even though their circumstances are “#inconvenient”
— and Ohio, the state he represents as a US senator, has done just that,
notoriously refusing to allow a ten-year-old rape victim to end her pregnancy
(she had to travel out of state,
👉at which point Republicans targeted the doctor who helped her).
