These are all publicity bullshit. Are you people allowed to bring your babies into your offices? No? Yeah, work is not an extension of your home. And also, these are parliament members, they can afford a nanny if they want to.
I don't see the reason for these babies to be sitting in front of parliament, it's a show and dance for the politicians to be able to further show that they are family oriented or some bullshit like that. Save it for the campaign trail, not where policy decisions should be debated and decided.
My exact same sentiment. Do they really think people are so stupid to not think about this properly? It's insulting to their electorate.
Well yes, do you know how we all know that people are stupid enough to think that this is genuine. It's been posted here and OP is calling it "an example for all"
So yeah, without a doubt some voters will think that this shows a strong woman who cares about her family as they're unable to see through the fact that this is a publicity stunt.
They know most people probably will see through it, but the key is anyone who speaks out about it will easily be labeled as being sexist, against women's and mothers rights, anti-baby, etc. Of course being pro abortion is not anti-baby, but this would be...
It is a lot like people using the child porn excuse to crack down on free speech. When the conversation is framed in such a way defending free speech is easily equivocated with defending child porn. The same goes for gun rights. If you support gun rights you don't care about shootings, and so on and so on. This is a key tenet in Marxist Postmodernist subversion.
