Editor’s note: The image above is a publicity shot from the 1950 film “Cheaper by the Dozen” staring Clifton Webb and Myrna Loy.

A fabulous film!

One-third of Americans between the ages of 18-24 say they have no religion.

How tragic to go through life without faith.

No caring person would want to bring a child into the world today.

Not fair to the child.

I saw biological science film that showed that, when survival rates are high, the birth rates tend to drop. It’s a perfectly natural response to being assured that the progeny will make it to adult hood.

I believe the pundits are overthinking this one. There is a virtually universal trend in which improving socioeconomic status is correlated with declining birthrates. The overall trend in the US since 1957 is a perfect illustration. It is repeated most clearly in Japan but also in countries throughout the world, including moslem countries. Even Mexico, once one of Paul Ehrlich's favorite basket cases, is approaching ZPG.

The Hispanic finding appears to be anomalous, since hispanics in the US are not noticeably gaining economic ground during a general recession. But I suspect it will turn out to be a factitious finding.

Planned Parenthood wins again.

They have poured a fortune (given to them mostly by the Packard Foundation and the Ford and Rockefeller Foundations) into undermining the Latin American love of children and family, and it’s paying off finally. “Catholics for a Free Choice” is an organization wholly funded by the big foundations, all of which have an anti-population agenda.

Guess the Democrat’s rosy scenario of a booming Mexican population that would give them millions of new voters may be premature.

The decline in religion is the number one cause. The more conservative beliefs usually coincide with a higher birth rate.

Liberal elites want a 'brown' country. They're going to get it sooner than they think.

The children of the Mayflower - and Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution - have gone 'European'. In short, groups here - like in Europe - are committing cultural suicide.

We're not having children.

In two hundred years there won't be enough people speaking German to sustain the language. France will suffer a similar fate.

People will live in Germany - but they'll be Arabs. People will live in the United States but they won't be the children of the founders. I have no idea why liberal elites hate traditional Americans - but I'm glad our children and grandchildren are calling it quits. This isn't a county that is welcoming to our kinds... so we're not having kids. It's that simple.

But it's rough when the culture speaks with such glee about a time when there will be fewer or no whites. It's the left at it's creepiest.

“The Cause of America’s Declining Birthrate”

Contraceptives. It’s really not much more than that.

Occam’s razor...
