Karine Jean Pierre’s handlers sent their diverse talking head out to the podium recently on March 1st to lament the restriction of access to IVF for Alabama women in commemoration of Women’s History Month.
Via The White House (emphasis added):
Since the unprecedented and unconscionable dismantling of the rights enshrined in the Roe v. Wade — in Roe v. Wade, we have seen an onslaught of abortion bans and other attacks on women’s reproductive freedom.
Look at what happened just this week. After the Alabama Supreme Court’s ruling put IVF at risk and raised issues about whether it would be available in other states, congressional Republicans rushed to proclaim their support for IVF.
On Wednesday, though, Senator Duckworth introduced a bill that would protect access to IVF in every state, and Senate Republicans blocked it. It’s completely outrageous.
President Biden and Vice President Harris believe every woman in this country should have the freedom to make the decision to have a child. That includes the one in five women struggling with infertility and who may need to rely on IVF. This is just another basic issue of reproductive freedom now under attack.
At no point during that press briefing, or any time, have the federal governing authorities busied themselves with exploring the underlying issue: why are so many men and women infertile in the first place? Which is an odd oversight, is it not, for an administration so publicly rhetorically devoted to uncovering and solving the various “root causes” of our biggest issues of the day?
The Karamel-uh Entity and her Democrat Party and NGO colleagues, for example, love the “root causes” mantra.

[Governments] must also address the impunity that surrounds violence based on gender or sexual orientation and identity. They must take urgent steps to address violence against women and girls and its root causes and to protect LGBTI people from all forms of violence…
US vice-president Kamala Harris visited Guatemala in June and agreed with President Giammattei to address the root causes of migration, including inequality, corruption and the flawed rule of law…
Members of the US Congress reintroduced the Housing is a Human Right Act to address the root causes of homelessness and transition the growing number of people experiencing homelessness into housing and other shelter.
That’s a lot of attention paid to root causes.
Conspicuously absent, however, in all of the IVF pearl-clutching, is any consternation over the root causes of the epidemic of male and female infertility in the Western world.

Via Pew Charitable Trusts (emphasis added):
When the economy takes a downward turn, couples often temporarily put off having children. But in the years following the Great Recession, births never rebounded. Instead, fertility has largely continued to follow a downward trajectory across the country, falling to a record low in 2020. State budgets have started to feel the effects of this long-term decline. The future course of fertility represents a key source of fiscal uncertainty for states as smaller working-age populations may eventually threaten tax bases…
Total U.S. population growth hit a record low last year as the pandemic exacerbated some of these issues.
Putting my naughty and verboten “conspiracy theory” hat on for the moment, I’m going to go out on a limb to suggest that perhaps the reason the governing authorities are unconcerned with decimated fertility is because they have no compelling interest in fixing the problem.
For one thing, there’s the hefty price tag of $30,000 fetched for a single round of IVF — a big payday for the pharmaceutical overlords that will assuredly trickle down all over the governing class via campaign donations and lobbying contracts and future appointments to the board of Pfizer.
Pharmaceutical profiteering, though, if I may speculate further, is only the tip of the iceberg.
There is also the convenient opportunity offered by a declining native population’s birth rate to justify importing “migrants” by the millions to salvage a threatened economy.
Then, there’s the odd havoc that the COVID-19 shots wreak on women’s reproductive cycles — which, by the way, was once “conspiracy theory” and is now established fact — not to mention all of the other toxins in the food, water, and drug supply that might require some further inquiry if “root causes” were ever to be sussed out.

All of that aside, however, in my view, here’s Bill Gates in 2010 to explain the ultimate reason infertility isn’t a problem — quite the contrary, in fact — for the ruling class:
Now, we put out a lot of carbon dioxide every year — over 26 billion tons… And somehow, we have to make changes that will bring that down to zero… This equation has four factors, a little bit of multiplication…
So you’ve got a thing on the left, CO2, that you want to get to zero, and that’s going to be based on the number of people, the services each person is using on average, the energy, on average, for each service, and the CO2 being put out per unit of energy. So let’s look at each one of these, and see how we can get this down to zero. Probably, one of these numbers is going to have to get pretty near to zero.
And the audience of lemming eunuchs laughs and laughs.
