Young women just arent that crazy about babies any more, shunning the diaper changes and midnight feedings for dubbed-in family members that dont demand as much care: dogs.
And not just any type dog specifically, those that weigh less than 25 pounds.
Id rather have a dog over a kid, said Sara Foster, 30, the proud owner of a French bulldog named Maddie, the New York Post reported. Its just less work and, honestly, I have more time to go out. You
dont have to get a baby sitter.
Her view is being repeated across the nation by women in the 15-to-29-years-old group, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found. New statistics show that big drops in the numbers of babies born to women in this age group coincide with big increases in the numbers of dogs owned by females around the same age range, the business site Quartz reported.

It’s because the men are so selfish and bad fathers

This has been happening a for a long time. I think it is more of a replacement for an aborted child than just not wanting any children.

This may NOT be a bad thing. I know the world would be much better off if the libturds do not reproduce.
To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
This is no surprise. Animals are more popular and treated better than babies in today’s America.

Its because the men are so selfish and bad fathers It's because the women are sluts and bad mothers.

It’s better to never become a parent than to be a bad parent.

Though I have a problem with Darwinian evolution, people such as the above is an area where I tend to believe that Darwin was right, in a sense, where the fittest survive, and the weak become extinct.
Cases such as the above are how the genetic pool is purified, and those wanting kids will pass on their genes.
The only problem now left, is to convince ALL LIBERALS that children are just burdens and that they should just live it up without any of the hassles that children bring.

Citizens of the idiocracy should not reproduce anyway.

How is this phenomenon, assuming it exists, a matter for the CDC to investigate?

I was just thinking about this subject. In particular there were 5 girls I knew who were unusually beautiful. None of them got married out of high school. One married at age 37 and has a baby. I bet she is a good Mother but I doubt she will ever have another.
None of the other 5 ever got married and a couple are now too old to have children. Oddly enough, I think they all would have been good Mothers, they were just raised in a time when girls were expected to have careers and a cat.
The reason I was thinking of them was partly it seemed such a waste that they did not pass on their genes.

Stupid.
Being a mother has been the single most rewarding, stunning, and breathtaking experience of my life. I have a 7 year old daughter that I wouldn’t trade for ANYTHING. These pathetic women have no clue what they’re missing.

I knew someone who got a tiny dog for a fashion accessory. It didn't last very long. When she figured out the dog had “needs” she suddenly tired of it.
