Send us a message! &lt;3What does contemporary birth politics have to do with Nazis? As Dr. Erika Briesacher explains, a lot more than you'd think. This episode looks at Trump and his allies' push to fetishize motherhood through pronatalist, anti-child policies like $5000 bonuses and possibly Nazi-esque medals for having the right amount of kids. We discuss the racial roots of these policies and how the racialization of birth continues today. If you're ready for a crash course in identity politics and birth, this one's for you. Let's go!
