Summary
The article criticizes the Trump administration's Moms.gov website and broader pronatalist agenda, arguing that it promotes traditional gender roles, anti-abortion resources, and alarmist rhetoric about fertility. It highlights comments by RFK Jr. and Mehmet Oz about teen sperm count and "underbabied" Americans as part of a push to increase birth rates, while ignoring structural supports like paid leave and childcare.
