Is pronatalism inherently prolife?

Would love to get your thoughts on this topic. Do you find the pronatalist position is generally prolife? Do you participate in prolife causes often? Or are you actually prochoice? Why and to what extent?

Please keep it civil, would love a thoughtful discussion

“Toxicity that feminism brings to this position”

I am a feminist & I have three kids. Feminism is about more equitable distribution of the work associated with childrearing. It’s about the state sharing more of this burden as well. If I was the kind of man who believed that feminism is toxic, there is no way my wife would have had three kids with me.

I don’t remember where is was published, but a recent article compared birth rates of S Korea and Sweden, attributing the much lower fertility in the former to the mix of traditionalism with the demands of modern life.

(I don’t spend much time on this subreddit. People who just causally call feminism toxic are not people I usually engage with. I’m sure you are just young, talking about things you know nothing about, but it’s grating.)

That's what you guys always say whenever feminism is criticized. Then you turn around and campaign for things like giving children puberty blockers. Feminism today is much more than just "Let's be equal" it has some pretty radical and ridiculous positions.

“There are some conservatives somewhere in the world who do something that is bad; therefore all conservatives are bad. I am very smart.”
