Natalist politics treat white women’s wombs as a national resource to be regulated.

Evidence

Furthermore, the AfD’s envisioned politics also take as a focal point of concern abortion for (white/real) German women, since the party “welcomes all unborn and newborn children” (AfD, 2016, p. 43). They subsequently criticize the “exempt of punishment” for interrupted pregnancies due to social reasons, which according to their estimations represents around 97 per cent of all abortions in the country. — Sarah Bracke and Luis Manuel Hernández Aguilar, “They Love Death as We Love Life”, 445

Categorization

  • ADDENDUM: Directly parallels ‘Complaints About Immodesty Go Way Back’ — moral panics over women’s bodies as class/identity/political signaling, here transposed to reproductive regulation.
  • DEEPTHINKING: The simultaneity of welcoming every unborn German child while opposing Muslim immigration reveals biopolitics operating as a reproductive double-bind — a reader would sit with this contradiction for days.
