John,
We wish someone would pop out and shout, “April Fools!” but, unfortunately, what they’re doing is no joke.
It sounds like a punchline: Missouri proposing an “eHarmony for babies” in a bill about adoption [1], Trump talking about “tremendous goodies in the bag for women” undergoing in vitro fertilization and calling himself “the fertilization president” (at a Women’s History Month event no less) [2].
This cruelty continued just last week with Trump’s outrageous ‘DEI-hire’ witch hunt ending with pulled funding from ongoing research into how to protect pregnant people from domestic violence. Which, incidentally, is the leading cause of death for pregnant and postpartum women in the United States [3].
