We speak with ProPublica reporter Andy Kroll, who has reported on Vance and says he is "demonizing huge swaths of Americans" and embodies a "really extreme version of conservative politics."

it's rational for people to not have children they can't afford. he's trying to socially ostracize poor people who make that sensible decision, and thereby guarantee future generations of cheap labor for the corporate oligarchs who fund his campaigns.

My love to parents but I think having kids would make me more crazy. I like working with kids at work and going home to my kitty, garden, and hobbies. I volunteer at a museum, which is a favorite place for kids on the spectrum, and make quilts for a children's mental health center.
