Gee, wonder why? Is it because pregnancy is the new death sentence in America thanks to Dobbs?

Skyrocketing cost of living especially housing and day care costs.

No one wants to produce the next wave of debt slaves for the power class. They’ll have to make do with AI or produce them in labs.

Uh, no.

"This is on par with annual declines seen before the pandemic, the report said, which averaged around 2% fewer babies each year."

Long term trend.

Exactly.

If I have to start family now I wouldn’t.
I never encourage my kids to get married or have kids.

It’s happening in Nordic countries as well and they have a lot more support for women and children.
It’s not just cost. Women are choosing not to give up oppurtunities they could lose in the typical childbirth years of 25-35.

The decay continues. We live in a modern culture so decrepit it has no interest in perpetuating itself.

Long term trend, made worse by many women and men running out to seek permanent birth control.

The U.S. is intentionally an incredibly hostile place to raise children and then wrings its hands over the unwillingness of people to raise children.

Lots of factors.

Women wanting a career more than a family.
Young people not wanting to marry let alone start a family.
Young people more interested in social media than actual human contact.
Egocentricity - more concerned with one's own needs and not wanting to worry about the needs of another.
The economy and unwillingness to sacrifice luxuries for the benefit of another.

In countries that bend over backwards to accommodate/subsidize raising children are seeing the same trend. Stop bashing the US.
