Andrea Leadsom makes a similar argument to the one that Niall Ferguson made about John Maynard Keynes a few years ago. That childless adults care less about the future than people with children. Ferguson apologized after it was pointed out that Keynes and his wife tried to have children. Theresa May is also said to be unwillingly childless. It was bad enough that one Conservative made the argument. Now a second one apparently has the same idea.
On the other side I have heard women whose sons suffered from racial bias claim that O.J. Simpson was not guilty, only because of the experience of their sons.

Hilary Clinton, claiming in the past that a vast rightwing conspiracy was out to get her and her hubby and knowing that she is under scrutiny does not bother to handle her emails properly costing US taxpayers millions as Republicans try to remove her from politics.
"A Clinton does something—in some cases innocuous, in this case worthy of criticism—and her political nemeses respond completely out of proportion."

So-called 'free trade' policies hurt US workers every time we pass them http://gu.com/p/47qhf/stw
In 1993, President Clinton promised that Nafta would create 200,000 American jobs in two years; instead, Nafta has led to the loss of more than 680,000 jobs.
In 1999, we were promised that PNTR with China would open up the
Chinese economy to American made goods and services; instead, it led to the loss of more than 2.7m American jobs.
In 2011, the US Chamber of Commerce told us that the South Korea free
trade agreement would create some 280,000 jobs; instead, it has led to the loss of some 60,000 jobs.
