Women of Child-bearing Age Want to Flee Trump's America

The forced birthers in the Republican party have imposed political dissatisfaction upon women of child-bearing age to such a degree that 40% of them want to flee Trump's America.

It should be no surprise that an adjudicated rapist as president has created an environment so toxic to women of child-bearing age that they now want to flee Trump’s America.

40% of Women of Child-bearing Age Want to Flee

Forty percent of American women aged 15 to 44 indicated they would like to leave the U.S. permanently if they had the opportunity, according to a recent Gallup poll, which marks a significant Republican fail given that one of Project 2025’s major goals was to use government action to force higher U.S. birth rates among married heterosexual couples.

This poll reveals that the current desire of women of childbearing age to flee this country is not only a record high desire with a significant increase from 10% in 2104, but it is due to political dissatisfaction.

The trend is linked to lower confidence in American institutions and growing political dissatisfaction, particularly among younger women, a group that is increasingly likely to identify as or lean Democratic.

Huh.

Republicans really are driving women away for generations, with the 40% figure for younger women more than double that of their male counterparts in the same age group (19%), the largest gender gap Gallup has recorded on this trend globally.

The desire to move is similar among single women (45%) and married women (41%), as well as those with children (40%) and those without children (44%). So if they easily could, women with children would like to flee this country.

While the poll measures the desire to migrate, not concrete plans or intentions to move, the data suggests that millions of younger women are considering futures outside the U.S.

Toxic Republicans

Trump has colored his entire party with the stench of the hostile male, the aggressively controlling male, from which thinking women run. They like to refer to themselves as “alpha males,” because they see themselves as stars in a western movie, but deep down, they know they can’t keep a relationship with the kind of woman they want if she knows she can provide for herself. In other words, a woman’s freedom is a threat to this kind of male.

And so they are the coercive, angry partner that pulls tighter even as their victim pulls away, which causes the victim to want to flee even more.

The myriad ways the “alpha” males of the can Right fail never ceases to amaze, even if it comes as no surprise that controlling women and forcing themselves over women’s freedom isn’t met with the desired subservience.

Project 2025’s Pronatalist Movement

Republicans are part of a “pronatalist” movement, arguing that declining birth rates pose an economic and “civilizational” threat (read: white people being overtaken by non-white people). They believe the government should encourage procreation to ensure a steady, “native-born” population. LOL. The dog whistle is screaming.

Their policy ideas to increase birth rates for (white) couples include restricting freedom and access to healthcare for women,

Indeed, critics including the National Women’s Law Center, argue that these proposals are rooted in specific ideological and cultural beliefs rather than evidence-based economics, and may do more to restrict individual freedoms and access to healthcare than actually boost the birth rate effectively.

The NWLC calls out the racism and eugenics:

What they won’t tell you—at least not to your face—is that this movement is not really about declining birth rates. It’s about power and which people have it.

Most pronatalists are primarily concerned with increasing birth rates for certain groups, namely those who are white, conservative, and straight. It’s why you may hear prominent pronatalists talking about “declining genetic quality” in the United States, or the importance of engineering “good quality children.” Both of these ugly sentiments are deeply entrenched in white nationalism and the racist fake science of eugenics.
