"The Heritage Foundation's report suggests that U.S. women have gotten a raw deal due to contemporary feminists who view marriage and motherhood as traps rather than gifts."
"The proposed policies aim to entice early marriages by making college financial aid less available and gutting social welfare programs that families depend on."
"Progressive family policy advocates worry that the administration's adoption of the Heritage Foundation report could complicate an already troubled child care landscape."
"The plan to deport undocumented workers will disproportionately impact child care workers and the immigrant and non-immigrant parents who rely on their services."
The Heritage Foundation's report, 'Saving America by Saving the Family,' suggests that contemporary feminists have misrepresented marriage and motherhood. It blames social benefits for promoting unwed childbearing and proposes policies to encourage early marriage. These include reducing college financial aid and cutting social welfare programs. Progressive advocates fear that implementing these policies will worsen the child care crisis and increase precarity for parents and care workers, especially in light of plans to deport undocumented workers who are vital to the child care sector.
