The more socialism and the less Christianity...
Means less babies.
Is this a trick question?
Warnings on this situation by Mark Steyn ages ago.
When the courts are stacked against men, when marriage offers nothing but slavery and misery for all but the top men in money and looks, when the women have been raised to SJW harpies, and when men are told they’re evil from the time they are children...some things are going to go wrong.
Women are the gatekeepers to sex. But take note, men are the gatekeepers to marriage, and the gate is staying closed.
These SJW types are going to grow old and die alone, unremembered. It is their greatest natural fear and it’s going to come true. When they finally realize they need to “settle” the men they mistreated in their youth won’t want them anymore.
This will literally take down our society. Nothing I can do but watch it burn from a safe distance.
Kleptocracy finally crossed a critical threshold.
Birth control and abortion and high tax rates.
Where did all the babies go? Seriously?? omg...we are doomed.
The population of the US has increased by 49 million since 2000. We have brought in 35 million legal permanent immigrants since 1990. We don’t have a population problem.
without reading the article, does it ever refer to the average number of abortions women in these countries are having?
The answer would go directly to the cause of the number of live births they are having.
As an aside, is it any wonder these countries are importing Muslims like the Romans imported slaves? Which indirectly led to the eventual downfall of Rome.
The student debt is probably scaring potential parents.
THe problem:
1. Islam
2. College
3. Welfare
4. Feminism
5. Secularism
Are you kidding me? Is this a trick question?
The Pill has prevented most pregnancies. Those babies who were conceived have been murdered at an astounding rate for the past 50+ years.
That's where all the babies went, especially those with "white privilege".
ABORTION.
Mark Steyn discussed this at length in “America Alone” 13 years ago. He believed that nihilism and hedonism that arose out of the two 20th Century World Wars led people to have fewer babies. I always thought he was onto something there. Our material wealth, our seeking of pleasure outside of progeny, our increased leisure time, and our self-centeredness tends to put people off from being parents.
Just one more way to destroy the country
Historically, 10% of women hit menopause childless. In the U.S. and much of Europe, it is currently 20%. Some are naturally sterile or choose not to have children, but a large number are involuntarily childless. They prioritized career and politics, then tried to find a partner when they’re past their prime. A few are single mothers by choice.
And many ended up alone while blaming men for not being interested in a 35 year old independent feminist relative to the 25 year old one without baggage.
Of those who do have children, biology means most have one child instead of the 2-3 they wanted. And others are single mothers who have just one, whereas if they had a devoted husband, it would be 2 or more.
Well, I can think of 62,000,000+ ideas since 1973 as to “where the babies went” in this country.
