A one-time $5,000 incentive won’t even begin to heal the deep, deliberate wounds our society inflicts on life and family. Our very structures—from policy to culture—are engineered not to nurture, but to erode what makes us human.

We prevent life before it has a chance, then if by grace a child is conceived, our institutions do not celebrate or support, but often steer parents toward ending that life before it draws breath. Should that child be born, the message quickly becomes: entrust your child to strangers; hand over the daily miracle of raising your own flesh and blood to faceless systems; let your role as a parent be reduced to an afterthought.

And if a child manages to emerge whole from this conveyor belt—mind and spirit intact—we burden them with lifelong debt for degrees that too often serve as expensive illusions. Then we release them into a workforce rigged against them, forced to compete either with unseen laborers on the other side of the world, paid in scraps, or with waves of the desperate, imported to undercut their tomorrow.

This is not simply a flawed system; it is a betrayal of the very idea of family, childhood, and future. To offer $5,000 in the face of this is not a solution—it’s an insult. Until we awaken to the roots of anti-life and anti-family designs, no bribe will restore what’s been lost. If we truly value families, we must build a world where life is cherished, parents are honored, and children can grow without fear of being treated as burdens to be managed or products to be molded. Only then will real change come.
