Pronatalism and the Politics of Childbirth

Dorianne Mason, Esq., the senior director of Health Equity and Contraceptive Access for the National Women’s Law Center, has challenged the public to look at who the administration is encouraging to have more children.

“When pronatalists encourage people to have children, they are not thinking about brown and Black bodies having those children,” Mason stated. “It is about advancing patriarchy and ensuring that there are more white Christian children that are being born.”
