Donald Trump said "wir einfach mehr Babys wollen" in German, about wanting more babies
“Weil wir einfach mehr Babys wollen, um es ganz nett auszudrücken”

Die Zeit’s examination of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s decision to document her egg-freezing process online links the New York Democrat’s private medical choice to a broader U.S. debate over reproductive freedom. The congresswoman, who is campaigning for reelection, says she wants to keep future motherhood possible while continuing her career, and her posts have drawn both support and criticism, some of it focused on her age. The article connects this to conservative pronatalism, noting that Donald Trump, according to Die Zeit, said two years ago in German that he simply wanted more babies. It adds that his later pledge to make IVF free to raise birth rates was never carried out. For Die Zeit, the contrast shows opposing views of whether women’s motherhood is a social duty or a personal choice.
