Why? None of these right-wing fertility projects ever address the underlying motivation for higher birthrates. Why is it so important that we have more babies? I would love to hear them explain it like I'm five.

When the black plague happened in Europe centuries ago, enough people died that hiring labourers became a competitive process, so wages and benefits went up. Assuming business minded right wingers pay attention to history, they probably want to avoid a repeat.

Religious social conservatives want more babies because their religion demands it.

Racists feel threatened by immigration and want to rebalance the population in their favour.
