Guests listen as President Donald Trump speaks at a rally to show support for Ohio Republican congressional candidate Troy Balderson on August 4, 2018 in Lewis Center, Ohio. The Trump administration is reportedly exploring a series of pronatalist policies—including awarding medals to women with six or more children—a tactic similar to those historically used by authoritarian regimes like Nazi Germany and Stalinist USSR. A group of conservative pronatalist activists has emerged pushing for government-backed incentives to promote childbearing, as reported by The New York Times.
