    So I looked up the parental status of every member of the House of Representatives from my liberal state of California—also the nation’s most populous state.

    With the caveat that one of the Democratic women has stepchildren, not biological ones, 85 percent of the Dems have kids, as opposed to 83 percent of the Republicans. If you exclude Rep. Sydney Kai Kamlager-Dove’s stepkids, which isn’t very nice, it becomes even: 83 percent for both.

      I’d rather they didn’t exclude step kids. Maybe don’t even give that as an option for clarification.

        It’s not like Vance’s claim stands either way

        Right? When else do stepchildren not count as kids? Is that really a necessary conversation?

        Maybe the summary was done by AITA veterans wanting to avoid the whole shitshow that can go along with assuming familial relationships between step family members.
