The Federalist: Supporting Postpartum Moms Could Boost Declining Fertility Rates
Catherine Ruth Pakaluk's book, "Hannah’s Children," explores why some women choose to have large families despite a national decline in birth rates. Interviews reveal that a lack of social support for new mothers contributes to postpartum depression, which can hinder future childbearing.
The book emphasizes the need for cultural and medical shifts to better support mothers postpartum. Recommendations include more frequent follow-up visits and home care to improve maternal mental health, ultimately benefiting both mothers and their children.
The Federalist: Congress's Adoption Tax Credit Legislation Is Pro-Life, Pro-Family
Adoption remains a costly endeavor in the U.S., with expenses ranging from $20,000 to $45,000, making it unaffordable for many families amid rising living costs. The Adoption Tax Credit Refundability Act aims to provide a refundable tax credit for adoption-related expenses, making adoption more accessible.
This bipartisan legislation has garnered support from both sides of the aisle, highlighting a shared concern for family formation and the financial pressures faced by prospective adoptive parents. By easing the financial burden, the act could help more children find loving homes.

The Federalist: Trump Should Bring Back The Presidential Fitness Test
In 1963, Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy's 50-mile hike highlighted his brother President John F. Kennedy's push for physical fitness in America, leading to the establishment of the Presidential Fitness Test. This competitive program encouraged excellence among students for over 50 years.
However, the test was replaced in 2013 by the FitnessGram, which emphasizes participation over competition, resulting in lower standards and a lack of incentive for students to excel. The decline in academic and physical challenges has contributed to rising obesity rates and low self-esteem among youth, underscoring the need to restore standards in education.
