A recent article denounces President Trump's push for larger families as key accelerator of climate change and other environmental disasters. The evidence that shows how the Trump administration encourages women, in the US and globally, to have more children, includes:
- reversing policies for reporting the state of human rights abroad
- burying reports that are critical of other countries denying women their reproductive rights
- doubling child tax credits
- defunding teen pregnancy programs
- promoting pro-natal abstinence programs
- cutting financial support for family planning abroad
- and finally granting over $3 million in funding to Crisis Pregnancy Centers, which pose as abortion clinics in order to persuade women to give birth.
According to the article, these decisions will contribute to climate change and inequaltiy and damage child wefare.
