The article discusses the issue of declining birth rates in France and China and the government's attempts to address this problem. French President Emmanuel Macron has called for "demographic rearmament" and proposed measures such as more support for infertile couples and revising parental leave. However, the article questions whether these measures will be effective in encouraging women to have more children, as raising a child involves significant physical, emotional, and financial sacrifices. In China, the one-child policy has led to a population imbalance and a reluctance among young women to prioritize marriage and motherhood. The article suggests that instead of using punitive measures, governments should consider offering substantial incentives to make having children more attractive. [Extracted from the article]

On the other hand, in the race for a House of Delegates seat for part of Turpin's Senate district, incumbent Kelly Fowler survived the "infanticide" attacks and ads calling her "bad for women", winning by 9 points. "We made sure that every voter knew that Cheryl was for choice", says Daniel McNamara, Turpin's campaign manager. Compared with the state Senate district that Turpin sought to represent, Fowler's corner of Virginia Beach, where the population is 42 percent nonwhite, is more liberal, and it went for Hillary Clinton in 2016.
