baby factories
Mass child production
Baby factories is a crude term for women viewed primarily as producers of children, reducing them to their reproductive function.
The phrase appears in discussions of fertility, immigration, or welfare policy, typically as criticism: They treat us like baby factories.
It can also describe facilities where women are coerced into bearing children for trafficking or sale—a practice documented in some regions.
