[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are nuts. This is an issue facing many, many nations. It isn't about religion or Evangelicals. It's about resources any nation needs, no different from gas or food.

Even NPR can discuss this issue from a practical standpoint and without being convinced it's a scheme by religious fantatics: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2011/11/03/141943008/when-governments-pay-people-to-have-babies

Fertility rates are a thing that are closely tracked for economic and security reasons. On DCUM, if you bring this up, you get a mixture of denial that the US has declining fertility, accusations of racism that have no basis since the color of the baby is immaterial to the overall rate, and accusations that this is all a scheme by Evangelicals. You all need to study up on this topic if you insist on talking about it. I wrote my masters thesis on it like 15 years ago; it's an actual issue that many, many countries have enacted policies to address. And yes, as much as people don't want to admit it, making abortion illegal IS one possible approach to increasing birth. Just like when China mandated abortions under the one child policy.  [/quote]

You can also become more lax on immigration. That's another way to combat it. [/quote]

True but other countries are doing the same. America is anti-immigration currently too. There is a global population bust happening.[/quote]

The US immigrant population is at historic levels, so the data doesn't support your assertion that the US is anti-immigrant.  [/quote]
