14 Babies and a Political Movement: America's Pronatalist Push

America's Pronatalist Movement Gains Traction: An Interview with Simone Collins In a recent interview on ITV News' What You Need To Know podcast, Simone Collins, a leading voice in America’s pronatalist movement, discussed her ambition to have up to 14 children. The movement, which promotes having more children, is gaining momentum, particularly with support from figures like Elon Musk. Collins' interview reveals the personal and political factors driving this trend. Collins stated, "I wouldn’t hesitate to get an unexpected hysterectomy or lose a lot of blood in the surgery if I can, through doing that, bring a whole new life and their whole range of experiences and joys and impacts into the world." This statement highlights the risks she's willing to take to achieve her goals. The interview also delves into the political landscape, noting the Trump administration's apparent support for pronatalist policies. While specifics weren't detailed, the connection between the movement and the administration is undeniable. The unique names Collins gives her children, such as Octavia George and Thorsten Savage, also add a unique element to the story. The interview concludes with Collins' assertion that she wants her children to be different and proud of it. This raises questions about the social implications of the pronatalist movement and the challenges faced by families who choose to have large families in today's world.
