俄亥俄州提出"自然家庭月"来增加生育 引发关于包容性的辩论 Ohio proposes "Natural Family Month" to boost births, sparking debate over inclusivity.

俄亥俄州立法者正在考虑众议院法案262, 该法案将在母亲日与父亲日之间建立“自然家庭月”, 以解决国家生育率下降的1.7, 低于人口稳定所需的2.1。 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. 该法案由共和党人赞助,促进婚姻和生育,将“自然家庭”定义为一对已婚夫妇,抚养生子或被收养子女,并列举了儿童福利和社会健康方面的好处。 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. 它虽然得到信仰团体的支持,但也受到进步倡导者的批评,他们认为它排斥非传统家庭,包括单亲家庭和男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者家庭。 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. 该法案仍然有待众议院社区振兴委员会审议。 The bill remains pending before the House Community Revitalization Committee.
