Journalists often ask for my thoughts on the contemporary US pronatalist movement. My assessment is based on my expertise and training as a social demographer, and my own research on childbearing behaviors at the individual and aggregate levels.
Strap in, b/c I've got a lot to say. 1/
NEW: More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.
Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care. “This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”
The president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Dr. Susan J. Kressly, said "creation of federal immunization policy is ‘no longer a credible process.’”

The FDA commissioner says that the decision of whether a pregnant woman should get a Covid vaccine should come down to a conversation with their doctor — not a recommendation by the federal government.

Stirring and beautiful piece on the people repro groups leave behind by supporting viability limits on abortion.
So-called “compromises” lead to forced births, like that of a California woman turned away after raising thousands and flying across the country. Read @amylittlefield.bsky.social:
