You DO realize that there were people on this earth prior to the Boomers. What about their birth rates?

Prior to the boomers is prior to the pill. Therefore, it’s not worth comparing to today’s generation of child bearing age women.
Healthy women in their 20s have an 88% chance of getting pregnant in any giving year assuming she’s married, having regular sex and not on contraception.
In a genetics/eugenics discussion, they were asking what traits would be selected for or against since we’ve wiped out selective pressure.
I said the pressures that remain are those humans can control. And since we can control fertility and social situations, it is leading to selection FOR women who are pro-child since pro-abortion means they breed at below replacement levels and against feminism, if that is a personality type with any genetic basis. Those that aren’t having children at all will eventually run into biological and social barriers to the ideology.
They reacted as if it were blasphemy, because the words were coming from a woman.
