The Overmedicalization of Birth

  • Birth is a natural physiological process, not a medical emergency waiting to happen. Yet in the U.S., a risk-averse and profit-driven medical system has transformed birth into a highly controlled, intervention-heavy process, often without medical necessity.
  • The U.S. has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world despite spending more per birth than other nations. Routine use of interventions like induction, continuous fetal monitoring, and cesarean sections have become normalized—even when evidence shows they can increase risks for mothers and babies.
  • Healthcare must return to individualized, family-first care, where mothers are respected and empowered when making decisions for themselves and their children—not driven by hospital liability, insurance codes, or pharmaceutical influence.

The Burnout Culture That Leaves Parents Exhausted & Unsupported

  • The cultural glorification of hustle and overwork is devastating to American families. Mothers are told to “bounce back” immediately after birth, return to work within weeks, and manage home life without extended family, community support, or rest.
  • This burnout culture contributes to rising rates of maternal depression, child behavioral issues, and a fractured family. Children thrive when parents are supported—and parents thrive when culture and policy respect their role.
  • Instead of throwing money at broken systems, we need to rebuild communities that support parenting, protect childhood, and encourage rest, bonding, and presence. We must value caregiving as essential work, not a side task.

Government Overreach in Parenting, Education, and Medical Decisions

  • From vaccine mandates to school curricula to decisions about gender and mental health, government entities are increasingly intervening in deeply personal family matters—often without parental knowledge or consent.
  • Schools have adopted agendas that undermine traditional family values and introduce children to radical ideologies on identity, sexuality, and race at increasingly young ages—sometimes while discouraging transparency with parents.
  • Parents—not politicians, school boards, or unelected health officials—should have the final say in decisions affecting their child’s education, health, and moral upbringing.
