It's not just a republican thing the the honest liberals will admit themselves that somehow the Democrats are running running away from family as one of their previous old core values I'll just give you a couple of excerpts from The New York Times piece by these two authors Anastasia Berg and Rachel wisman again this is a month ago.

Why people recommend it

What Are Children For? by Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman is a nonfiction book that examines modern ambivalence and choices surrounding childbearing, particularly among liberals and contemporary intellectuals. On The Ezra Klein Show, Christine Emba recommended the book, describing it as an insightful read on the complexities of fertility panic and personal choice in the modern era. On The Megyn Kelly Show, Megyn Kelly brought up the book by Anastasia Berg and Rachel Wiseman to explore how even honest liberals acknowledge that the Democratic Party has increasingly distanced itself from family as a core historical value. Kelly utilized excerpts from an article by the two authors to discuss the broader cultural and political shifts affecting family planning and societal expectations. Through these discussions, the book is highlighted as an important cultural touchstone that captures the anxieties, shifting values, and complex decision-making processes defining how contemporary adults approach fertility, family life, and the changing social landscape of the twenty-first century.
