Turns out the current administration is a hotbed of weirdos who are obsessed with the uteri of women they don’t even know—but not in the way they usually are weirdos. See President Grievance, AKA “The Fertility President”, is looking to encourage women to give birth, and he’s assembled just the team to help advise him.

One person is President Elon, who is even weirder and more disturbing that what we already knew:

Speaking to an audience at an investment conference in Saudi Arabia last year, Musk laid out the urgency of the matter. “I think for most countries, they should view the birthrate as the single biggest problem they need to solve. If you don’t make new humans, there’s no humanity, and all the policies in the world don’t matter,” Musk told the crowd over a live video. 

When the interviewer joked that Musk was doing his part to address the issue, the billionaire agreed. “Yes. I am. I mean, you know, you’ve got to walk the talk. So, I do have a lot of kids, and I encourage others to have lots of kids.”

Separately, Musk has said he is concerned about what he called Third World countries having higher birthrates than the U.S. and Europe, a person familiar with the conversation said. 

One of the most important ways to change these dynamics, he has repeatedly told people close to him, is for educated people to have more children. 

And you may remember JD’s summer-long tantrum about people without kids, fueled mostly by jealousy, of course. And over the summer I wrote about this very strange pronatalist couple, who had no problem in hitting their child in front of a reporter. That couple, pictured in the featured image” was recently profiled on CNN in a report on a pronatalist conference. The story was titled “Why are high fertility people always so weird?”.

Indeed.

The Collins show up AGAIN in Monday’s NY Times article about the Grievance administration’s workshopping pronatalist ideas:

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

Ms. Collins, along with her husband, Malcolm Collins, sent the White House several draft executive orders, including one that would bestow a “National Medal of Motherhood” to mothers with six or more children.

“Look at the number of kids that major leaders in the administration have,” Ms. Collins said, adding: “You didn’t hear about kids in the same way under Biden.”

A “National Medal of Motherhood” you say? Well, I am sure it sounds less creepy in the original German:

Women were awarded bronze for four children, silver for six children, and gold for eight children. The medals were supposedly made from these precious metals, but were actually mass-produced from cheap imitation materials instead. The awards feature black swastikas in the center of an elongated blue and white enamel cross that resembles a Christian cross. The words “DER DEUTSCHEN MUTTER” (“the German mother”) appear around the swastika, and rays of light fashioned in metal appear to shoot out from behind the cross. Though they were typically kept or displayed in a small case, the medals included a blue and white ribbon for wearing around the neck. These colors signified loyalty in other Nazi-era service awards.

There is a proposal to implement a quota for married couples in government-funded fellowships like the Fulbright Scholarships. And the straight up Gilead stuff like this:

Ms. Waters has proposed directing the National Institutes of Health to expand its study of infertility and reproductive health conditions, including endometriosis. She has also proposed using government funds to promote programs that educate women on their menstrual cycles and their “natural fertility,” such as cycle-charting courses that many conservative Christian women use to try to prevent pregnancy without using birth control.

These kinds of programs could both help women identify the reasons for their infertility, Ms. Waters said, and also teach them when they’re able to conceive. They could be facilitated through school sex education programs, she added, or independent courses designed for adults.

Wait! I thought school sex education programs were bad? I’m so confused. I’m especially intrigued by the evidently serious suggestion that a government-provided fertility tracker is a sure fire way for women to decide they want to have lots of children. You know, because the government will never use the info it gathers to prosecute women who have abortions. Nope, that’s a silly thing to be afraid of.

You already know how I’m going to close this out.
