US Birth Rate Hits All-Time Low
Live Science ^ | 12/04/2014 | by Bahar Gholipour

The U.S. birth rate reached an all-time low in 2013, as the number of babies born in the country declined for the sixth straight year since the peak in 2007, a new report finds.

The country's birth rate dipped to 62.5 births per 1,000 women between ages 15 and 44, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That is 10 percent lower than the birth rate in 2007, which was 69.3 per 1,000 women, and a record low since the government started tracking birth rates in 1909, when birth rate was 126.8.

In 2013, there were 3.93 million babies born in the U.S., down less than 1 percent from 2012, and down 9 percent from 2007, when a record-breaking 4.32 million babies were born in the U.S.

As the Humanist (leftist) culture of death becomes dominant, this is what you’ll see in our society.

See, now there’s your mistake. You have to have 14 kids and go on the government dole. This is how its done today.

Exactly; all the responsible people are busy working like fiends to stay out of the streets, much less marry and have kids and enjoy family life.

Don’t worry, Obummer and the RINOs plan on importing millions of illegal aliens to replace the aging population.

Cultures that are stressed by war, famine, or Democratic (communist) regimes restrict their birth rates. When times improve and assuming that the money has any value, the birth rate will shoot up again to 2.1/couple. If the change in government is significant enough we could see another baby boom.

Not true. I never took a government dime, unless I was military, and not only raised a family, 7 other humans share my genome downstream (so to speak).

They also all work hard, too.

No problem.

Obama is solving the issue with millions of illegal alien mommas here and millions more to come.

Responsible people are eliminating themselves from the gene pool.
That's not good. Other categories have no stops.
Idiocracy, here we come.

Yeah, well don’t worry. There are hordes of people on their way in to make up for the decline in population.
