Topics
Erin Ryan: 我认为特朗普政府正在努力解决美国出生率下降的问题，他们正在考虑各种措施来提高出生率，例如婴儿奖金和奖励生育多个孩子的母亲。 Carter Sherman: 我认为特朗普政府提出的提高出生率的政策，例如婴儿奖金和扩大儿童税收抵免，成本非常高昂。这与政府削减预算的政策相矛盾。因此，更可能采取成本较低的措施，例如颁发奖章给生育六个或更多孩子的母亲。此外，特朗普政府在鼓励生育方面更多的是口号，而非实际政策承诺。他们削减了从事生育相关研究的科研人员的工作，这实际上可能会阻碍人们生育孩子的计划。 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: 我强烈反对在食品中添加石油基色素，我认为这会对儿童的健康造成危害。 Carter Sherman: 目前尚不清楚哪些政策能够有效鼓励生育，并且随着社会进步和女性选择增多，女性可能并不想生育很多孩子。气候变化是年轻人不愿生育孩子的一个主要原因，而特朗普政府似乎并未认真对待这一问题。共和党在辅助生殖技术（IVF）问题上存在分歧，这可能会影响他们与科技界右翼的联盟。鼓励移民可能是解决出生率下降问题的一种方法。 Erin Ryan: 人口老龄化导致劳动力老龄化，无法支持老龄人口，这是出生率下降的实际后果之一。 Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: 我认为不应该在食品中添加石油基色素，这应该由个人在家自行决定，而不是强加于其他人。

The Trump administration is reportedly considering policies to incentivize people to have more children, including baby bonuses and medals for mothers. However, the effectiveness of such policies is questionable, and there are various reasons why young Americans may choose not to have children, such as climate change concerns. The show also discusses the potential consequences of declining birth rates and the differing views on IVF within the pro-natalist movement.

Shownotes Transcript

MAGA is in full-on panic mode about the declining birth rate in the U.S., and so the doors of the West Wing are wide open to figuring out how to get more people to have more babies. That's right, Trump administration officials want you to get pregnant and stay pregnant. Nothing creepy about that! Carter Sherman, a reproductive health and justice reporter for The Guardian, explains the right-wing panic around predictions of a coming baby apocalypse.

And in headlines: President Donald Trump now says he has 'no intention' to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, the DOJ asked a federal judge to force Google to sell off Chrome, and more migrant children are left to represent themselves in immigration court.
