Not gonna happen. They're pro-birth, not pro-life, & those billionaire tax cuts won't pay for themselves.

This sounds like what the Catholic Church has been doing for a long time. If women are busy with a home & a big family, they won't have time or energy to bother men with their silly little concerns like rights & equality under the law. That was the reason I stopped believing in Catholicism when I was a teenager.
