Miriam Cates and Mary Harrington: Can the Birth Rate Crisis Be Fixed?

In this episode of Socrates Dialogues with Mary Harrington, she is joined by Miriam Cates, former Conservative MP and now broadcaster with GB News, who reflects on her journey into politics during the turbulent years of Brexit and Covid, the pressures that reshaped Westminster, and the challenges of being a Christian seeking truth in public life.

Throughout this conversation, the two explore women’s rights, the controversy surrounding women’s spaces, and the rapidly changing understanding of family and parenthood—from surrogacy and reproductive technology to the growing number of children born into unconventional family structures. At the heart of the conversation is a deeper question: what happens when questions about children and family are framed primarily around the rights and desires of adults, rather than the needs and dignity of the child?
