Milei and the Mystery of the Conspiring Uterus

Argentina, 22/05/2025
Argentine President Javier Milei has done it again —though at this point, it’s hard to be surprised— dropping a line that sounds straight out of a Twitter meme factory:
“They went too far attacking the family, the two lives, and now we’re paying for it with a drop in birth rates,” he said at the AmCham Summit in Buenos Aires, speaking before the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in Argentina.

Yes, you read that right. According to Milei, Argentina’s falling birth rate has nothing to do with inflation, unemployment, unaffordable housing, or widespread despair about the future — it’s the fault of legal abortion.

With the confidence of a man who believes he’s uncovered a reproductive conspiracy, the president delivered his verdict. As if Argentine women’s wombs had become agents of subversion, infiltrated by global progressivism and now refusing to birth future libertarians. As if the 2020 law on Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy (IVE), passed after decades of grassroots struggle, were the reason so many people today can’t —or won’t— have children.

But let’s set aside fantasies and look at facts.

The whole world is having fewer children

Japan, Germany, South Korea, Italy, Spain, Canada… countries where abortion is legal —or not— and all are experiencing a steep and steady drop in birth rates. The phenomenon isn’t called “abortion legalization”; it’s called socioeconomic and cultural transformation.

Having a child has become a luxury. Or a gamble. Or both. Who in their right mind dives into parenthood today with stagnant wages, insane rent, and a collapsing health system?

But instead of seeing the full picture, Milei chooses to focus on the womb, as if that’s where the enemy lies. Because it’s easier to blame a law than to confront the effects of his own economic model. It’s more convenient to punish personal decisions than to take structural responsibility.

And what about the family?

He talks about “attacks on the family,” but under his administration, funding for education, healthcare, maternal programs, and care policies have been slashed or burned to the ground. What kind of family grows strong in that environment?

What kind of defense of “two lives” can a government make when it fails to ensure even one with dignity?

Conclusion:
Falling birth rates aren’t the result of a cultural war — they’re the result of a life that has become increasingly unlivable. The problem isn’t in the uterus. It’s in the head: the president’s, who still thinks governing is about preaching from a social media pulpit.
