More Americans Dying as Birth Rates Hit Record Lows

Thanks to younger Americans delaying having children and an exceptionally large group of Americans reaching mortality, the gap between births and deaths in the U.S. is the smallest it’s been in nearly four decades, according to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census.

It’s a shift demographers don’t see reversing anytime soon.

“I see no evidence of any upturn in fertility, and deaths continue to grow,” says Kenneth Johnson, senior demographer at the University of New Hampshire’s Carsey Institute.

According to the Census, there were 2,541,000 deaths between July 2012 and July 2013, the most on record in one year.

Don’t worry, the illegal Mexicans and the Muslims will continue to breed like flies.

I and the wife had two kids 28 years ago and despite our daily effort for more it just hasn’t worked.

gee maybe let’s stop our pregnant women from playing god and being the only class of citizen who can legally murder their child, for any reason?

Once Obamacare really kicks in, I think the death rate will approach 100%.

If that were the case I would be rabid murdering abortionist. People should be encouraged to have more babies and the Holocaust against the unborn should end.

America really needs to protect America once again, and grow here.

We have supported all of our competitors now for an entire generation.

American needs work here. Now.

Ahhhh, I see.

wideawake was wrong when he said "You are truly a gentleman and a Christian."

You prefer entire cities full of men, women, children and babies to be swept from existence.

That's more Old Testament, isn't it?

Again it wasn’t meant to be taken literally although I do admit I have a deep seeded hatred for the left wing in California when in cooperation with my communist mother they attempted to take my 2 sons away. No not haha shes a commie, she is a card carrying Leninist.

So I will say I did not mean to wish harm on anyone and I am deeply and truly sorry for my inappropriate words.

What a stupid title. Just as many folks are dying now as always. 1.0

I know what they mean, but from an epidemiological perspective it’s, in the words of Rachel Jeantel, “real stupid sir.”

Well, if they want me to have a kid, they can make it affordable for me to have one. Until then, I’ll wait until I can afford one to have one.

What happens when the moslems inherit the western hemisphere and Europe? Is russia to follow suit or are they standing back and watching the suicide of western democracy? The West is ripe for a takeover.
