“We don’t procreate enough to keep our population up,” she said.

Yes, humans, like virtually every life form, have a need to procreate — but in aggregate, not individually.

The pressure to procreate comes from so many directions I’m considering pitching a “Walking Dead” spinoff where the child free are the living and everyone else are zombies trying to turn us.

Vance is also, famously, a big fan of shaming women for not having babies, calling them "miserable cat ladies" and "sociopathic" if they haven't procreated.

Vance’s openly crackpot assertion that people who do not procreate are somehow less sane, and less American, than people who do is most definitely weird.
