Pronatalists are, generally, pro birth. They worry about declining birth rates in industrialized countries. They want to ensure the next generation contains enough taxable workers to pay for future retirees. They fear that smaller generations will result in less innovation and global competitiveness, and ultimately economic and cultural stagnation. But while some in the movement lobby for child tax credits and affordable childcare, others challenge rights to abortion and contraception, and try to pull women from the workplace.
