I am surprised about birth rates going down. I live in an area with many immigrants and they have 3+ kids, seems like most of them.

Generally, immigrants have more kids, and that's why immigrants are necessary to keep our working population at a certain level.  If we only rely on "real" Americans, the working population would decline, which is bad for the economy.

This is partly why forced-birthers want to ban abortion.[/quote]

How are immigrants able to afford 3+ kids while “real” Americans aren’t?[/quote]

It’s not about money. It’s about trade offs. More and more adults aren’t willing to sacrifice for kids. [/quote]

It could be that more and more adults aren't willing to bring children in the world knowing that there is a 99% chance of Donald Trump or Joe Biden being the most powerful person in the world until 2029. There will be a great deal of uncertainty and turmoil in the world over the next 4 to 5 years and possibly longer if we fail to elect a someone with POTUS caliber leadership skills once again in 2028.[/quote]

If this is what people are basing the decision to have or not to have children, they are just plain stupid.  Unable to think about the long term.  [/quote]
That PP is 100% a both sides Republican looking to stir the pot. [/quote]

There is polling that reveals why people don’t want kids.

Hopefully people can stop making up nonsense about the reasons for fertility decline in the US.

That story wanders all over the place.

Basically it is because of Republican policies that shred any social support.

The resulting cost and the accessibility of great birth control.... especially IUDs... mean women just aren't that interested.[/quote]

Every birth control device you mentioned is at zero cost to women because of Obamacare.  So knock that off.

Secondly, we don't need to pay women to breed as long as the border is wide open and the overall population keeps growing.
