‘Progressive Pronatalism’ Is an Oxymoron: How Arguments Buying Into the Low-Fertility Panic Fail Women ‘Progressive Pronatalism’ Is an Oxymoron: How Feminist Arguments Buying Into the Low-Fertility Panic Fail Women

Unfortunately, there are many - major media outlets including the NYT, The Atlantic, Vox, and even Jacobin have been trumpeting the baby-bust alarmism (all are ecologically illiterate, of course). Here's our recent article calling them out: msmagazine.com/2025/07/18/p...

Our guest, @philipncohen.com, warns that the adoption of the problematic 'fertility crisis' framing among liberals is paving the way for coercive right-wing policies, and why we must abandon this narrative. Listen on your favorite podcast platform www.populationbalance.org/podcast/phil...

Open letter to journalists: Panic over low fertility is a distraction from the true crisis - Population Connection We, the undersigned, call on journalists to refrain from amplifying low fertility panic, and to instead help raise awareness of the critical need to advance women’s and girls’ empowerment.

"...The factors that underlie continued high fertility in many areas are a lot more concerning, and urgently need addressing by boosting funding for international #familyplanning and #womensrights.”

In our latest article published in @counterpunchmedia.bsky.social our ED Nandita Bajaj argues why not only is the panic surrounding declining birthrates wrongheaded, the reactionary #pronatalism from the right and the left alike is misguided and dangerous.

Today is U.S. Overshoot Day. This means that as of today, the U.S. has used up all of its ecological “budget” for 2026. For the rest of the year, it will be living off imports from other countries while further depleting its and others’ ecological reserves.

What a concept ~ thinking of the child first! #pronatalism

It's #WorldWildlifeDay, reminder that human presence and activity is driving Earth's wildlife to extinction. We're in the midst of the Earth’s 6th mass extinction. Because of our population and consumption patterns, species are going extinct 1000-10,000 times faster than normal extinction rates.

The myth of #humanexceptionalism casts humans as separate from and superior to the rest of life. Christine Webb shows how science and culture reinforce this worldview, and why replacing it is essential to life’s future on Earth. www.populationbalance.org/podcast/chri...
