Childless cat ladies
J.D.Vance is the first person that I am aware of who discussed
the term shown above. He has a number of goofy ideas, including his belief that
women without children are somehow not as valuable to society. He has even
proposed allowing families with children more votes because “they have a larger
stake in society”.
He is ignoring the fact that many women either can’t have
children, or do not want them.
There ARE a number of childless women who have made
significant contributions to society. Both Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey have
donated millions of dollars to society, and there are numerous women who lead major
corporations.
Kamala Harris has not given birth to any biological children,
but she IS stepmother to the children of Doug Emhoff. She also has been a
prosecutor, a senator, a vice-president, and a presential candidate. Her
adopted children call her MOMala.
Remember Sara Huckabee Sanders?
She was a press secretary for Donald Trump, but later got
elected governor of Arkansas.

During a campaign event for former President Donald Trump Tuesday, Arkansas Gov.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders suggested Vice President Kamala Harris is not humble because
she does not have biological children.
The comments came during a town hall the governor moderated in
Flint, Michigan, at first joking about how her children’s innocent remarks can
make her feel humble despite her high-profile position.
“You can walk into a room like this where people cheer when you
step onto the stage and you might think for a second that you’re kind of
special,” Sanders said. “Then you go home and your kids remind you very quickly
that you’re not that big of a deal.”
She
kept on the theme of humility before pivoting to the Democratic nominee for
president. “So, my kids keep me humble,” she said to the crowd, pausing for a
few seconds. “Unfortunately, Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her
humble.”
Harris has two stepchildren through her marriage to
Doug Emhoff, Ella and Cole Emhoff, and has often spoken
about her role as stepmom or, using her nickname, “Momala.” Kerstin Emhoff, the
ex-wife of Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff, has been a vocal supporter of Harris’
campaign and has repeatedly celebrated Harris’ role as stepmother to her two
kids.
“Kamala
Harris has spent her entire career working for the people, ALL families,” she
wrote on X, formerly Twitter, in response to Sanders’ comments. “That keeps you
pretty humble.”
Sanders’ brazen comments are not out of the
norm, as the governor has become known for making bold claims and embracing
‘culture war’ issues, especially concerning gender. She has fought against the
Biden administration’s IX updates, and last year signed an executive
order banning what she calls “woke, anti-women” words in
government. The order states that the government should “reject language that
ignores, undermines, and erases women,” and should “celebrate gender
distinctions between men and women—not erase them.”
The demographics of our country has changed dramatically since
I was a child.
DemographicTurning Points for the United States (census.gov)
The year 2030 marks a
demographic turning point for the United States. Beginning that year, all baby
boomers will be older than 65 years of age. This will expand the size of the
older population so that one in every five Americans is projected to be of retirement
age. Later that decade, by 2034, we project that older adults will outnumber
children for the first time in U.S. history. The year 2030 marks another
demographic first for the United States. That year, because of population
aging, immigration is projected to overtake natural increase (the
excess of births over deaths) as the primary driver of population growth for
the country.
Beyond 2030, the U.S. population is projected to
grow slowly, age considerably, and become more racially and ethnically
diverse. Despite slowing population growth, particularly after
2030, the U.S. population is still expected to grow by 79 million people by
2060, crossing the 400 million threshold in 2058.

In April of this year, 56% of white voters were registered as
Republicans, versus 41% who registered as Democrats. Hispanic voters favored Democrats
61% to 35% Republic. Black voters were overwhelmingly Democrat (83%) to 12%
Republican. Asian voters also favored Democrats (63% to 35% Republicans.
White Republicans are nervous because their numbers are shrinking,
and minority groups are increasing As a result, they have resorted to voters suppression
tactics to make it harder for minorities (who favor Democrats), and they got a
lot of help from the Supreme Court (in Shelby County v Holder) that Section 5
of the Civil Rights Act was no longer necessary, which opened up more restrictive
voting rules in the majority of the states in the country,
In effect, what J.D. Vance is promoting is similar to what
Nazi Germany did in the 1930’s.

In 1935, Heinrich Himmler, the architect of the holocaust,
decided to redefine motherhood.
The reason was the declining German population.
World War I resulted in the decimation of the country's young male population.
More than 2,000,000 German soldiers had been killed, and intermarriage with
Jews and others deemed "inferior" by Nazis had made the population
"racially impure," as Himmler termed it.
In addition, more than 800,000 pregnancies ended in
abortion every year. This decline was unacceptable to Adolf Hitler and Heinrich
Himmler, who were dreaming of creating a racially pure Nazi-Aryan nation.
It was in that context that the Lebensborn “super baby”
breeding program was created. “Lebensborn" means "wellspring of
life" or "fountain of life." The Lebensborn project was one of
the most secretive and disgusting Nazi programs ever created. Heinrich Himmler
himself initiated the Lebensborn project on December 12, 1935.
The disgusting program was a system of supervised
selective breeding in which unmarried ‘racially pure’ women were instructed to
have children with Nazi officers and create a “super race” for the German Reich
that would rule for a thousand years — the ultimate goal of Lebensborn.
The plan started with Germany and gradually expanded to
occupied countries, most notably in Scandinavia, where the Nordic gene with its
blond hair and blue eyes was considered classically Aryan and was particularly
favored by Himmler, who set up the majority of the Lebensborn centers in
Nazi-occupied Norway.
As a
first step, the mother and father must pass a “racial purity” test to be
admitted into the program. Blond-haired and blue-eyed people were preferred,
and family lineage had to be traceable and pure up to at least three
generations. The criterion was strict; only 40 percent of women passed the
purity test. Most of the mothers were unwed.
The first Lebensborn family home was opened in 1936 in
Steinhoering, a nondescript village near Munich. The furnishings and the décor
for these homes were best in class, looted from Jews and other people in
occupied countries.
In these homes, “racially pure” German women were
encouraged to meet and have children with SS officers who occasionally visited.
The SS then took the children when they were born. The program supported
expectant mothers and enabled them to have their children safely, secretly, and
comfortably.
Himmler,
the mastermind, also has an incentive system in place that was equally
diabolical. A Mother’s Cross of Honor was created in three classes: bronze,
silver, and gold. The bronze cross required a woman to give birth to and
raise at least four children, while the highest honor, the gold cross,
recognized a woman who had given birth to eight or more.
In
addition, these mothers received government subsidies designed to take care of
the kids. “Lucky” mothers with three and more children under ten years old got
'honorary cards' allowing them to get preferential treatment in shopping queues
and discounts on their rent payments. They were also given the best meats from
butcher shops and were entitled to zero-interest state-sponsored loans.
Himmler soon expanded the program to include non-German
mothers. In a bizarre policy formed by Hitler in 1942, German soldiers were
encouraged to socialize with native women, with the instruction that any
children they produced would be given to SS. “Racially pure” women were
encouraged to have one-night stands with SS officers in Lebensborn homes where
they could have children in secrecy and confidentiality.
The worst part was kidnapping “Aryan children” from
occupied territories.
In 1939, under Himmler’s directive, the Nazis began
systematically kidnapping thousands of children who they regarded as
“Aryan-looking” from other countries, mainly Poland, Yugoslavia and Russia,
Ukraine, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, and Norway, for the
Lebensborn program. While some of these children were orphans, it has been
well-documented that many were stolen from their parent's arms.
In
these centers, these children were “Germanized” and forced to forget their
birth parents. Those children who refused were beaten mercilessly or even sent
to concentration camps for “re-education.” Ultimately these re-educated
children were adopted by SS families. Himmler himself reportedly justified this
brutal kidnapping when he stated that “It is our duty to take [the children]
with us to remove them from their environment… either we win over any good
blood that we can use for ourselves and give it a place in our people, or we
destroy this blood.”
As
the Nazis started losing the war, they destroyed almost all the documents on
the Lebensborn program leaving an estimated 200,000 children separated from
their families. Only 25,000 children were retrieved after the war and returned
to their families. Some made it home, but others could not remember enough of
their original families to find their way back.
It is also believed that several German families even
refused to return the children they had received from the Lebensborn centers.
In some cases, the children refused to return to their original families as
they were brainwashed by the Nazi propaganda and considered themselves “pure”
Germans for better or worse.
But for most of them, it was a long life of shame,
loneliness, and ostracization by society. Many of the Lebensborn women were
beaten or killed by the angry, starving public, and their children were bullied
for their Nazi roots throughout their lives.
After years of enforcing the “one child rule”, China is now
encouraging more births because their economy is declining. They also are no
longer encouraging abortions as they once were.
China is far from alone in experiencing declining birth rates.
It is also true in Japan, South Korea, and other countries.
Across Europe, East Asia and North America, many governments are, like Japan, introducing measures like paid parental leave, child care subsidies and direct cash transfers. According to the U.N., the number of countries deliberately targeting birthrates rose from 19 in 1986 to 55 by 2015.

I’m not implying that today’s Republican Party is made up of a bunch of Nazis, but consider these facts:
1) Republicans are pushing for abortion bans because they
want more children
2)
They have a strong preference for white people
3)
