The glamour of abortion may have something to do with it.

When those benefiting from so many of God’s Blessings decide to “manage” the gift of life, the earlier blessing are left to rot.

You shouldn’t create children if you don’t have a job and can’t afford it.

I hate to see it.But that lesson has finally kicked in.

I think a lot of people wouldn’t want to bring children into this world when you imagine how America is going to look in 50 years

The problem is not a lack of babies.

The problem is a lack of white babies.

It’s racial suicide. And women are to blame for it.

No wonder young men today are not dating and foregoing sex and going to porn.

Have you seen the loudmouthed, drunken, tatted up, pierced and fat Western women out there?

Well, societal and socio-economic conditions in most of the Western World these days aren’t actually conducive or encouraging for most folks to want to start families. Likewise, there are very VERY powerful disincentives to marriage.

If either or both of those problems could be tackled, the birth rate would mostly solve itself.

Expect a spike in childbirth around the holidays. People were just sequestered at home for 60 days.

I think birth control is a factor, because modern birth control is very effective when used properly.

Is part of it that people get set in their ways, and their life is a certain way, and they can’t see how children would fit into their lives? This is especially true for women climbing the career ladder, I suspect. Women and careers where they are expected to work late or travel a lot simply cannot see how a child would fit into such a work-life environment.

And let me give equal time to men as well. MEN who enjoy their bachelor Lifestyles may not want to get married in the first place. And if they do marry it is possible that a childless lifestyle is what they want.

Part of this is that fertility declines for both men and women as we get older. So if couples in their late thirties or early forties decide that now is the time in their lives to start having children, they may find that they cannot conceive.

Even if women can afford babies, they still won’t have children if they don’t actually want them.

It would ruin their hard-won careers as Chief Diversity Coordinators at GreenPlanet, Inc. :)

[[[Economists believe millennials “have been slower to form families than previous generations” because they are less financially secure.]]]

[[[Experts have also chalked up the fertility decline to millennials having far more options in their adult lives, such as travel, career, and even how to spend their money.]]]

Which one is it?

Millenials were educated to believe that having children is dangerous to the holy ‘Mother Earth’ what with carbon footprints and all. They think having children is selfish because that’s what they’ve been taught or indoctrinated into believing.

Well, here’s something I learned in high school: All life on planet earth is carbon based. This whole lie about carbon dioxide being pollution is nothing but a death cult.

I once had a couple in my car and they just had been married. The subject of children came up as they asked if I had any. So I turned the question around on them and asked them. They said they were going to wait. They had been the leftisdt propaganda about the world being over-populated, blah blah. In 2016, I was in the midst of schooling when I cam across some very stunning facts about how the Western countries were not producing sustainable numbers to maintain their indigenous population. At the time Canada needed two children per married couple to meet his demand. Canada birthrate was around 1.5 children per married couple on average. The United states needed the same rate, approximately 2.2 children per married couple on average, but at the time was just under that by having a rate 1.9 children per married couple on average. This rate around the Western countries has been steadily decreasing while the rate of children per married couple in developing countries were increasing. This tied into the immigration and emigration issue on how at the time Canada stated they needed immigration to sustain the current population.Based on the rate of children per married couple, this was true. Not only abortion that has decimated the populations of Western countries, but prohibitive reproductive policies and access to the medications preventing pregnancies have decimated the sustainable populations over the Western world. The interesting tidbit here was that China’s one-child policy was overturned because the leaders in that country saw the light and knew that if they continued the policy their population would also be unsustainable. Most don’t know China overturned this policy.

In the end, Canada was right that it needs immigration to sustain its population as it was too far along for the indigenous population to recover. The United states is getting closer to that point of no return. When the couple left my car, they thanked me and stated they were going to change their plans on when they have children. They were in their mid twenties and stated in the beginning they were going to wait 5 to 7 years before having children. When they left they said they were going to reduce that time.

There is only one way to increase the birthrate of a stable population: the baby boom process. It has several critical elements.

1) Father employment only. Mothers are far more important to the having and rearing of children (as long as the father is the breadwinner and is living with the mother).

2) Strong religious values that favor large families.

3) Limits on distracting entertainment and unhealthy substances like tobacco, alcohol and drugs legal or not, as well as their purveyors and users.

4) A clean nearby environment for recreation.

5) Residential socialization with children encouraged to play with each other and especially with children of the other sex in chaperoned circumstances.

6) Removal of criminal and mentally ill persons.

7) Boredom.

It’s all about having and raising children but in order for that to happen first of all you need to find a good woman and marry her

And I blame men almost entirely for this all they wanna do is get laid nobody wants a relationship and they’re scared to death of marriage

Our next-door neighbor they have a baby and they’re not married he’s like two-year-old

Any of us that are parents will of course say “ what the hell would you do with every single day if you don’t have kids?”

And the beautiful thing about kids as they eventually turn into adults

See what happens in about 8 or 9 months after the Quarantine is lifted.

I’m not optimistic, but I would love to see a China Syndrome Baby Boom in the United States and among other civilized people nine months after this quarantine fiasco’s start date.

When you get old and grey who is going to care about you as you whittle the hours away all alone? You take care of your kids then they take care of you, it’s the natural way of things.
