In this episode of Body & State, Sarah interviews conservative commentator Bethany Mandel, who writes about the declining birth rate and considers herself a pronatalist. Mandel and her husband, both Orthodox Jews, live in suburban Maryland with their six children. Through her writing and her podcast “The Mom Wars”, she aims to be a more moderate voice among pronatalists, and encourages people to have kids by showing how rewarding a big family can be.
