Yep. Whenever I am in any sort of public gathering I am struck with how few visibly pregnant women there are. Random chance would dictate at least enough to notice.
Making all birth control “free” sure won’t help.
Whenever I am in any sort of public gathering I am struck with how few visibly pregnant women there are.This is very true. I've seen maybe three or four expecting women since August. Our kids are all in their midish-20s, and only one has a friend who is married. The others group together and rent, or they live with their significant other, and then use birth control. It's so ugly, so blank, but that's all they've known, because they were born into an abortion world.
Now is the winter of our missed content..................
When I am in some towns - where the young people are mostly Hispanic now, and the white poeple are older with families grown and gone - I see many pregnant young women, bellies displayed in tight T-shirts, pushing a stroller and a child or two holding on to that.
Another town, with a large ultra-orthodox Jewish population - mothers stand at one corner with a flock of little girls, waiting for the school bus, the fathers on the other corner with the boys. The pregnant bellies are concealed more modestly, but the women have a child every year or two, starting before they are twenty years old.
I live in a town where East Indians and Chinese have two children apiece, and white families of Christian origin can have as many as four without raising eyebrows, but this is a place where upper middle-class people come to have children. There are so many people who wouldn’t be caught dead out here in the ‘burbs - the city has so much to offer, except making it easy to raise children.
When I went to my twentieth high school reunion, about a third of the women had not had a child. Some have since had a late baby, but not many.
The future belongs to those who show up - I tried, but I fear my children will find themselves out-numbered.

In my area, at these gatherings, there are few pregnant American women but 1 out of 4 Hispanic women are.
