Maggie Gallagher: Conservatives Have More Babies To Try To Destroy Inevitability Of Gay Marriage
Yes, that’s right. I’m not kidding. The National Organization for Marriage’s Maggie Gallagher just published, in the National Review, “Is Gay Marriage Inevitable?” In it, she offers a list of eight “reasons” why she thinks it is not.
Here’s the short-form:
- If you say it often enough, you can make what you want happen. Or, not.
- Kids change their minds.
- “Progressives are often wrong about the future.”
- Kids are stupid.
Nice work, Maggie.
Now, I’ve saved the one that I find disgusting for last.
I think creating a culture of having more and more children so you can seed the world with your ideology is disgusting. Yes, I’m talking to you, Maggie, and any other religious zealots, like United Families International.
Because, once again, Maggie, you’ve shown your hand. I know you love to do that – and you know I love to catch you when you do. So here’s what you wrote today in NRO:
“Demography could be destiny.
If there is one force that directly contradicts the inevitability argument, it is that traditionalists have more children. Preventing schools and media from corrupting those children is a problem, but not necessarily an insoluable one. Religous groups are increasingly focused on the problem of how to transmit a marriage culture to the next generation (see the USCCB’s recent initiatives).”
Now, let’s all be really clear what Maggie’s saying here: Conservatives have more children so they can spread their ideology across the world.
Sound far-fetched?
Maybe. But look at what Beverly Rice, (former) President of United Families International, (a radical, extremist organization) had to say about gays and population:
“Politically-correct movements to advance destructive and seemingly un-relatedcauses such as abortion, the so-called normalization of homosexual behavior and cohabitation outside of marriage all contribute to declining birth rates.”
And now we get at the true crux of their game. When folks like Maggie Gallagher say they don’t hate homosexuals, maybe they’re being honest. But that masks their real issue – and an utterly false and ignorant one at that.
They think that homosexuals are responsible for what they perceive as a lowered birth rate in this county. Marriage equality is a huge issue for them, not because they hate us (OK, I really do think they do,) but because they, erroneously see same-sex marriage as a threat to “traditional” marriage, and thus, in their tiny little minds, less “traditional” marriages mean less babies.
And what do less babies – less American babies – mean? Less future adults to fight Islam.
And that, my friends, is what’s behind the mad, mad, mad, mad, mad world of Maggie Gallagher. Religion, and wanting to protect not the “American family,” but wanting to protect America from Islam.
Stay with me here.
See what The Nation had to say about this, two years ago:
“The real root of racial tensions in the Netherlands and France, America’s culture warriors tell anxious Europeans, isn’t ineffective methods of assimilating new citizens but, rather, decades of “antifamily” permissiveness–contraception, abortion, divorce, population control, women’s liberation and careers, “selfish” secularism and gay rights–enabling “decadent” white couples to neglect their reproductive duties. Defying the biblical command to “be fruitful and multiply,” Europeans have failed to produce the magic number of 2.1 children per couple, the estimated “replacement-level fertility” for developed nations (and a figure repeated so frequently it becomes a near incantation). The white Christian West, in this telling, is in danger of forfeiting itself through sheer lack of numbers to an onslaught of Muslim immigrants and their purportedly numerous offspring.”
All you need to do to understand is watch this:

Now, do you understand?
What’s truly pathetic is, whether or not you believe the concept of “Demographic Winter,” gays are not going to stop people from having babies. If anything, gays now want to start families, more than ever, and could actually improve the birthrate for the Maggie Gallaghers and Beverly Rices of the world.
But, their entire world is wrapped up in defeating the LGBTQ community.
Demographic winter, Maggie?
No.
But settle in for a long winter – because we’re happy to do battle with you, and anyone else, to secure our rights.

Republican Speaker Mike Johnson and Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries have agreed to a joint debate, following Jeffries’ proposal nearly two weeks ago to address the federal government shutdown.
“I write to challenge you to a debate on the Floor of the House of Representatives any day this week in primetime, broadcast live to the American people,” Leader Jeffries wrote in a letter on October 6. “Democrats have been clear and consistent in our position. The country needs immediate, bipartisan negotiations between the White House and congressional leadership in order to reach an enlightened spending agreement that reopens the government, improves the lives of hardworking American taxpayers and addresses the Republican healthcare crisis.”
Johnson subsequently declined to debate, according to The Hill.
But asked last week about debating Jeffries, Johnson said: “Hakeem, let’s sit down together, OK?”

Jeffries on Tuesday agreed, telling reporters, “I look forward to that,” according to The Hill.
C-SPAN made the announcement on Wednesday, stating that both Johnson and Jeffries “have publicly agreed to appear jointly on C-SPAN’s Ceasefire program, hosted by POLITICO’s Dasha Burns.”
“We look forward to providing a forum for a smart, civil, respectful exchange of ideas between both leaders,” C-SPAN noted, saying it is “currently working with both offices on scheduling.”
On Wednesday, Johnson said he would debate Leader Jeffries, “anywhere, anytime,” before quickly pulling back.
“I’ll debate Hakeem Jeffries anywhere, anytime—as soon as we get the government open,” Johnson told Fox News, before attacking the Democrat for “engaging in political theater, and stating absurd things.”

Johnson then went on to blast the Democrats for, he claimed, voting to “shut the government down.”
“The Republicans in Congress, House and Senate, have voted to open the government, and nine times, Democrats in Congress have voted to close it, all but one,” he said before targeting the Democratic Leader.
“Hakeem Jeffries led the effort in the House.”
“I am so frustrated by this. We all are.”

Once a die-hard MAGA foot soldier, U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is continuing to break with her party, now attacking Republicans and specifically Speaker Mike Johnson over the high cost of living and keeping the House in recess during the federal government shutdown.
“My big warning is, we have to take this very seriously, because if Republicans are responsible for doing nothing about this and regular, innocent Americans’ health insurance premiums double, they’re not gonna be able to pay their rent,” the Georgia Republican lawmaker said.
Americans, Greene noted, are “already getting crushed with the cost of living expenses that the Biden administration created, but have not come back down.”

“Food prices have gone up this year,” she said, in direct contradiction to President Donald Trump’s repeated statements to the contrary. As recently as Tuesday the president claimed, “groceries are down, it’s all down.”
“Even the Department of Agriculture,” Greene continued, “put out a report on that in August, and there’s many other problems — even potentially that we could see a slowdown in the economy next year, and I pray to God, not a recession.”
“So this is extremely serious,” she stressed. “Everyone should be talking about it, and here’s where I’m upset: Republicans are doing nothing.”
“The House is not in session, which I think is inexcusable. Mike Johnson should be calling us back because we should be working.”
Last week, Greene also criticized the Speaker over his refusal to bring the House back into session.

“I don’t think that it’s believable to tell the American people that while we control the White House, the House, and the Senate, that we can’t return to work in Washington, D.C., because Chuck Schumer and six other Democrats won’t vote to open the government,” Greene said.
“I just, I know people,” she continued. “They don’t believe that.”
House Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Wednesday echoed Greene’s lament: “House Republicans need to get back to work,” he said in a press conference.
The Bulwark on Tuesday had asked, “When even Marjorie Taylor Greene is talking about living in reality, maybe the ground is finally shifting?”

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is reportedly this year’s biggest political ad spender, pouring tens of millions into spots that praise President Donald Trump and tell undocumented immigrants to leave the country.
Axios reported that while Homeland Security “disputes that its ads are political,” it has “spent at least $51 million this year on ads thanking President Trump for securing the border, according to AdImpact.”
Fox News Channel is the largest host of the ads, airing about $9 million worth of them so far.
The DHS ads are part of a larger $200 million contract pushing “self-deportation,” and promoting “Trump’s mass deportation agenda in a series of direct-to-camera videos starring the face of the policy, Secretary Kristi Noem.”

Three of the ads say, “Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for securing our border and putting America first.”
In one, titled, “WARNING,” Secretary Noem says, “President Trump has a clear message for those that are in our country illegally. Leave now. If you don’t, we will find you and we will deport you. You will never return.”
“For too long, weak politicians left our borders wide open,” Noem continued, appearing to blame Democrats without mentioning any party. “They flooded our communities with drugs. Human trafficking and violent criminals. They put American lives at risk.”
“If you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return, and enjoy our freedom, and live the American dream,” Noem said. “But understand this. Under President Trump, America’s borders are closed to law breakers. Follow the law, and you’ll find opportunity. Break it, and you’ll find consequences.”
Axios noted that “‘President Trump’ is the most mentioned phrase across all the ads.”

The two companies that created the ads did so by “bypassing the usual bidding process. DHS cited a[n] ‘unusual and compelling urgency’ to quickly award the contract.”
Separately, Secretary Noem is under fire for a DHS video in which she specifically blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and its impacts on the TSA. Some airports across the country have refused to play the video, the Associated Press reported.
Critics blasted the spending.
“Using your tax dollars for political propaganda” wrote U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-DE).
“Your tax dollars and mine are being used to thank President Trump. That’s right, the biggest political ad spender of 2025 is DHS using your money,” noted The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell.
