one of the true gifts of parenthood is surrendering your illusions of control; no scientific advancement in the world can tell you who your child will be, how they'll resemble you or surprise you, what they'll be capable of, how much you'll love them. eugenicists refuse to accept this reality

it's disingenuous to pretend only the right cares about people having babies — it's that only the right wants to *compel* women to have them. progressive policies like accessible childcare, robust public education, affordable housing etc are "pro-baby" but also pro-everyone else.
