    He’s just doing the Trump thing of saying any click-baity nonsense to dominate the news cycle.

    The media has been falling for it since 2015, can that never learn?

  2. Kind of weird coming from the nominee of a party that consistently votes against policies meant make child care more affordable or ensure that those children have a safe/healthy environment to grow up in.

    It is a danger to become pregnant with the republican party restricting reproductive healthcare for women. Any reason you have for deciding not to have children or to have children is your choice, nobody elses. All women out there stay strong, stay safe and don’t listen to Vance…….he isn’t going to take care of you or your baby.

    Freaks like JD have what I call a fetish for life. They don’t care about quality of life, or the situation of the mother and her environment, they just want people to be born. They don’t care what happens after that.

  5. It’s deranged to call yourself pro-life and not care what happens during pregnancy or after birth.

  6. That’s a direct lie. Choosing not to have children takes focus, something that would erase vance’s ambitions if everyone had it.

    While he and his fellow zealots running the govt BELIEVE IN THE GD RAPTURE.

    BELIEVE THE EARTH WILL BE ENDING ANY DAY.

    Explain to me how THOSE PEOPLE are *more invested in the future* jfc.

    Let’s pretend for a second that whether people choose to have kids, or climate change being real, should be political issues at all.

    Even if someone believes that, you’re calling someone insane for having a different perspective than you. Imagine talking about a loved one that way behind their back. Imagine talking to one of your loved ones directly and saying that.

    Here’s the great thing about having children or not – it’s a personal decision.

    As Walz so eloquently put it – mind your own damn business.

  10. “When people are making the most important and personal decision of their lives, they need to be listening to me, JD Vance, family-knower. I have obviously the smartest and best intentions for everyone, provided you are straight, white, and Christian. Everyone else should fall into a bottomless pit.”

  11. If a species determines the environment is not hospitable to life it will not produce life.

    To be fair, it’s difficult to be in the mood when the ground floor of the house is submerged.

  13. I can only speak for myself, but I don’t think “climate change” is a major reason that women/couples aren’t choosing to have (or have more) children. Not being able to afford them, or afford a house to fit them all, or being able to afford healthcare they’ll need, are the actual big reasons.

    This guy is such a freakin clown.

    The number 2 man of the party that has refused free federal money to feed hungry kids or provide health care is complaining about anti kid environment. You gotta be shitting me.

    It is deranged for a Vice presidential candidate to be so obsessed with what goes on between the legs of half of the citizens.

  16. The only people more obsessed with children than pedophiles are republicans. I wonder if they’re the same group.

  17. Someone actually said this to me the other day when casually talking about children. No other part of the conversation was hostile or political but when I said I don’t have kids and didn’t want any they called it atrocious and demanded to know if my husband agreed with no kids (he does, maybe even more than me)

    So this rhetoric is out there in real people.

  18. If you want women to have kids maybe make the country more livable and support the people that are here asshole. I would never bring a child into this absolute hellscape of a world just to see them suffer from the effects of climate change or restricted rights

  19. He really wants all women to start sleeping with Trump supporting men. He wants you to have babies with some fat white hillbilly with a Trump flag in the yard. Does Kid Rock make you horny? How about seeing Tucker naked.

  20. Plastic-Collar-4936 on

    Every woman in the country should just stop having intercourse with men. Every one, until their rights are restored. It’s literally a hazard to their health to get pregnant; this is how they can protect themselves.

    And yes, this is a man proposing this. The fairer sex should get the fairness they deserve.

  21. Why would women want to have children when the economy is crap and parents don’t even have the time to properly raise kids due to working insane amounts of hours unless they are well off.
