Outstanding, Roy. The amount of time and effort these dweebs put into trying to figure out how to turn the clock back to the 1950s is amazing.
And the insufficient-white-babies fixation on the Right is a perennial obsession for them. But I also remember how their heads exploded a couple of months ago when a photo of Harry Styles in an evening gown was on the cover of Vogue. Someone should tell conservatives that if Harry Styles agreed to impregnate all the women who wanted him to, their obsessive worry about below-replacement-level white babies would be over. The guy can get it and the dress doesn’t hurt his chances one bit. He isn’t as hot as Tom Holland dancing in fishnet stockings to Rihanna’s “Umbrella” (nothing else is that hot) but he’s a close runner-up.
But I guess they’d consider that a slippery slope that lands on Lil Nas X, or would make Jesus cry, or something.
I'm sure they'll have people back to makin' babies just as soon as Griswold is overturned and the State can engage Amazon to monitor everyone's sexual activities. It's going to be a tricky needle to thread, but I'm sure Roberts and the gang can do it: Finding a case that allows them to rule that there is no right to privacy under the Constitution--no right to privacy for individual citizens, but an absolute right to privacy for corporations.
I would note for the record the suggestion that Mrs. Douthat may have produced a child or two in the course of researching her new book, "Mom Genes", Simon & Schuster, to be released on April 27 https://books.google.com/books/about/Mom_Genes.html (Advance publicity doesn't tell us, but drops broad hints that she may have been personally involved in motherhood at some point in her life: "Part scientific odyssey, part memoir, Mom Genes weaves the latest research with Abigail Tucker’s personal experiences to create a delightful, surprising, and poignant portrait of motherhood. It’s vital reading for anyone who has ever wondered what rocks the hand that rocks the cradle.") Whether Mr. Douthat was involved I am unwilling to guess.
Evil. And lovely. The mythology you've woven is come to a foine pattern, boyo
Cherce!

Children in Central America hear Douthat’s distress and rush to his aid. Who knew Nueve York Tiempo was so popular in Ecuador, Honduras, etc.?
"You get too ironical when you’ve had a snootful." Eugene O'Neill parody gold.
"Mrs. Noonan". Perfect.
This should, nay MUST, be made into a Carol Burnett Show sketch.
Also, I love how Bill Bennett plays himself more Irish than Cú Chulainn.
If anyone cares, Cardinal Raymond Burke says Pres. Biden isn’t a “Real Catholic”.
I don’t know if y’all noticed the Claremont Institute dweeb announcing that a Majority of American aren’t “Real Americans “..
Maybe these arbiters of Reality can go bother some alternate universe..
Wonderful! All it needs is a jeering audience throwing popcorn.
Not a word about child care or health care in that column, was there?
Oh. I thought you meant Dreher tried it as a Chi-Lite
