It seems that the folks at Politico are scratching their heads over a phenomenon as old as humanity itself—the desire to have children. Recently, they put a spotlight on the Natal Conference, branding it a far-right plot to “explode the population.” This conference, which aims to encourage people to have more children, is cast as some devious far-right campaign rather than what it truly is: a common-sense response to America’s plummeting birth rates.
The liberal narrative has grown so detached from the basic instincts of human nature that the idea of promoting family and procreation now appears extreme or suspicious. According to Politico, the conference is part of a grand scheme by conservatives to overhaul society through, believe it or not, having children. The narrative is that conservatives are somehow planning to breed a majority to enforce their worldview—a ludicrous claim that exposes the left’s paranoia more than anything else.
Politico’s coverage suggests disbelief that people might actually want to live fulfilling lives with children, passing on their values and joys to the next generation. They can’t fathom that people might find life beautiful and worth perpetuating, outside of a political agenda. Instead, they insinuate that such gatherings are tinged with racism and regressive ideas, simply because they can’t understand or accept that at its core, this movement is about love and life, not hate.
What the left fails to grasp is that promoting family life and having children is about preserving the very essence of humanity, not some clandestine strategy to dominate politics. But to the left, everything must be politicized, even the natural process of birth and life. They would rather paint a picture of a sinister plot than face the reality that conservative values often celebrate life and legacy, something they increasingly abandon in favor of more radical social experiments.
The bias is so blatant that it would be laughable if it weren’t so indicative of a broader cultural crisis. The left has become so ingrained in their anti-family, anti-child rhetoric that the idea of a conference promoting the beauty of life seems foreign and threatening. They are so wrapped up in their progressive dogmas that they can’t see the wood for the trees: people generally want to create families and communities, something deeply human that transcends political divides.
We need to stand firm against these distortions and continue to champion the values that have sustained humanity for millennia. Let the left mock and malign; we will continue to celebrate life and raise our children to know they are part of something beautiful—not pawns in a political game but blessings that enrich our world.
The future belongs to those who value and nurture life, not those who scorn it. As the left continues to push its bleak, anti-natalist vision, the rest of humanity will be building a legacy that will endure, anchored in the timeless joy of family and the continuation of life itself.
