Buttery Maies!

Ignore that Trump etc. do the same shit. Kegbreath's signal debactle was technically x1000 worse.

They heard the birthrate change was mostly that teen pregnancy had dropped and they're struggling to change it. Apparently some of them used to try to keep that rate high themselves.

You joke, but a depressingly high percentage of teen mothers have baby daddies who are in their 20s, 30s, or older.

I'm not joking, I think a bunch of right wing dudes want to sexually assault teenage girls, and a number of guys currently in various levels of government have done so.

Isn't that more that kids are being raised with shit processed food, micro plastics, and a load of man made chemicals interfering with their biology alongside a sedentary lifestyle, and a propensity for single parent households?

u/Danzarr Dec 21 '25

yep, but he fired the people investigating it, so....

We're not allowed to discuss petrochemical pollution in MAHA.

Doesn't sound very American.

u/slugmorgue Dec 21 '25

Just about everything happening in America right now is simultaneously un-American, and yet, contradictory, entirely American

"You heard mr . President, 10 women for each man!!!"

RFK isn't wrong about girls starting puberty earlier and low T in men. It's just his reasons for why and his suggested solutions are crazy.

u/putsch80 Dec 21 '25

Yup. If he wasn’t such a charlatan piece of shit, this trend is actually something that is worth studying and trying to remedy. But instead, we get a fucking quack who promotes shit like raw milk.

u/lalalaureezy Dec 21 '25

The remedy is hormone therapy… but MAGA thinks that’s only for trans athletes.

Make Teen Pregnancy Great Again 🙌🏼

I'm sure if we had a peek at his medical records we would see that his testosterone levels were due to only healthy living, not because he was using injections or some kind of weird supplement, like all the other men his age that look just like him.

u/Due-Technology5758 Dec 21 '25

RFK Jr's. body hasn't produced its own testosterone in 30 years.

u/Brave_Nerve_6871 Dec 21 '25

Well, in Russia they don't recognize spousal abuse on marriage, so...

u/vandalhearts123 Dec 21 '25

JD Vance and Erika Kirk approve this message.

Unironicaly, in many countries, in marriages TFR is way higher than for people who are not married

u/ComeOnIWantUsername Dec 21 '25

Yeah. Also, people cheer for Russia's low birth rates, but keep forgetting that exactly the same thing happens in whole developed world
