While discord is sown on the left, this type of insidious assault on women's rights is becoming more prevalent.

"1st class, Gold Cross: eligible mothers with eight or more children"
"3rd class, Bronze Cross: eligible mothers with four or five children"
Well, that one is now illegal in Germany, but the Bundespräsident offers to be the godparent / sponsor for any kids who are born as a mother's 7th child.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_Germany
"It is customary that the Federal President becomes the honorary godfather of the seventh child in a family, provided that the parents wish so."
Maybe they can use this as a hint in WI.

...that we need to raise retirement age to 75. Which of course is anathema to more babies for the labor market.
But, I'd bet 10 bucks he agrees with both positions
