Last year, the rightwing think-tank the Heritage Foundation launchedĀ Project 2025, which laid out much of theĀ policy blueprintĀ for the current Trump administration. One of the projectās espoused goals was to permanentlyĀ criminalize all pornography. Now, a Republican senatorĀ with kind words for TrumpĀ has introduced a bill that would do just that.
Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) recently introduced the Interstate Obscenity Definition Act (IODA), which would effectively criminalize all pornography nationwide by legally redefining what it means to be obscene. For years, āobscenityā has been all but a defunct legal category that narrowly defines speech thatĀ remains unprotectedĀ by the First Amendment. Lee would explode this legal category, expanding it to encompass virtually all visual representations of sex.
I donāt see how the first two would increase the number of white babies proportionally to the rest of the babies being born. As far as Iām aware, the states with abortion restrictions have higher % black populations than the other states, for instance.
Sadly put them in jail, deport, provide inferior medical aid by capitalism means is the traditional answer.
Edit for drive-by down voters: Iām saying this is what they believe, not that itās true or I believe it. I mean, all Iām talking about is the āGreat Replacementā theory that people like Stephen Miller fully adhere to.
Itās pretty simple: the white population is losing ground relative to non-white populations. Yes, other populations will increase, but thereās a practical ceiling. They likely believe that the white population gains will more than offset any gains by other ethnicities.
For black populations specifically, Iād have to do some simple analysis on this data, but it doesnāt look particularly disproportionate in absolute numbers.
But really, I donāt believe the black population is the principal target. See the graph. Consider the immigration policy.

I feel like your answer is just āthey believe this will work.ā
I mean, obviously. Iām not saying I believe it or that itās viable.
most populations around the world are slowing in growth, plateauing, or declining. Seems as people become wealthier, and more educated, very young people begin having less/no kids, for the most part, and this lack of teen births is what is largely being lost when we see these declines.
Yeah, when people have educations they know the planet is fucked. Lmao at thinking itās āmoney and educationā that means less kids. Itās happening because the world is bad and the earth is fucked. Making it more complicated is hilarious
