flag Ohio proposes "Natural Family Month" to boost births, sparking debate over inclusivity.

flag Ohio lawmakers are considering House Bill 262, which would establish "Natural Family Month" between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day to address the state’s declining birthrate of 1.7, below the 2.1 needed for population stability. flag Sponsored by Republicans, the bill promotes marriage and childbearing, defining a "natural family" as a married couple raising biological or adopted children, citing benefits for child well-being and societal health. flag While supported by faith-based groups, it has drawn criticism from progressive advocates who argue it excludes non-traditional families, including single-parent and LGBTQ+ households. flag The bill remains pending before the House Community Revitalization Committee.
