7. The GOP is whining that not enough teenagers are getting pregnant

I'm certain they would love condoms to disappear as a move to get more girls pregnant. Sick fuckers, all of them! Not that they ever used condoms out of personally moral and magnanimous concerns over health issues in general except to protect themselves from diseases.

"Recent Trends and GOP Reaction
The Data: In 2025, the birth rate for teenagers aged 15-19 dropped to 11.7 births per 1,000 females, a 70% decrease over the last two decades.

Media Response: Fox News segments have described this trend as "alarming" and a "problem," with commentators suggesting that too many teenagers are delaying childbirth.

Political Framing: Some MAGA-aligned figures have lamented the shift, with some suggesting a cultural crisis where teenagers are "wasting their time on TikTok instead of... popping out babies".

Policy Positions: Some Republican attorneys general have sought to challenge access to abortion pills by arguing that reduced teen pregnancy rates harm their states by decreasing population growth and potential federal funding."
