The gist of the part relating to a decline in births is that the government should be used to pressure women to forgo college, get married after high school, and immediately start having babies. The message is not to worry about how to support children, just keep having babies. And of course unsaid but since pushed is to submit all decisions to their lord and master husbands because women need to be controlled.

What people like this refuse to recognize is that around 40% of all first marriages end in divorce. How is a woman with no college degree, no work experience, and no guarantee of enough alimony or child support for herself and her multiple children supposed to live. There's a reason 35% of single women raising children live in poverty.
