The United States population is growing at the slowest rate since 1937, when the country was in the midst of the Great Depression.

ABORTION is the main culprit behind the population decline.

The main reason is “Western Decadence”.

the population of immigrants and immigrants children is growing while white conservative voters are shrinking and being diluted out just like the democrats want. The democrats will have a monopoly on power in all branches of government in the next ten years or less.

See how that works?

Started in ‘69 with the idiot Erlich and “Overpopulation” and ends with the greatest crime against America: the replacement of the Americans with the enemies of civilization.

There are so many abortions and ‘The Pill’ is so readily available that this doesn’t surprise any one. God bless the babies.

Are they counting all of the ever increasing number of foreigners who are squatting on US soil?
