Financial issues don’t stop the invaders from breeding out of control.

Have any of you who have had abortions EVER wonder if the children you destroyed and eliminated COULD have been the one who would have cured cancer or done something GREAT for humanity and you selfishly KILLED what gift could have helped the world.

Do my eyes deceive me, or does that graphic indicate that only Americans (19%) cite "partner wants fewer children" as a reason? None (0%) of the people in other countries cited that as a reason?! Incredible!

Also: Citing the unwillingness of one's spouse to have children is a circular statement. Imagine, if you will, if the figure had been not 19%, but 99%. What would it mean if 99% of all polled persons had said, "Yeah, I want to have children, but my spouse doesn't!" 19% is not as extreme, but still entails the same logical dilemma.

Personally, I think that these statistics suffer from the "self-reporting" bias. It's like asking people why they don't want to wake up and get out of bed, and the people responding, "Just five more minutes!" Again and again and again.

Regards,

Fertility, as well as bad parenting and mate selection, can be solved by passing only ONE law: restore the return on investment for raising children that was hijacked by government socialist security systems. Until death or divorce, give parents the option of 15% of their children’s paychecks in lieu of socialist security payments, and exempt these children from socialist security taxes. That is how the Amish do it, and their fertility is normal by historical measures. This law isn’t likely to be implemented at the federal level, but state workers are exempt from the federal ponzi scheme, so a state could experiment with the time proven traditional way of propagating families.

When I got married me and my wife were up in the air about having kids. But the hot tub and two bottles of wine showed up on a Saturday night and things happened. 😎😎😎. Got two wonderful sons. πŸ•ΊπŸ•Ί

I can’t help but point out the low IQ in this silly claim.

A family with more children becomes a family with greater wealth.

When a country has more families with more children the country becomes more wealthy.

America’s enemies know this, so they try to make us think having children is costly.

It’s a lie, and America’s enemies lie because they have low IQs.

Legal immigration is the core problem. Too many workers chasing too few jobs = low wages

“The Most Common Reasons Not To Have Kids Are Financial”

CORRECTION: “The Most Common EXCUSES Not To Have Kids Are Financial”

But it’s funny - if you take away women’s lib, and give women the choice of ONLY being a secretary, school teacher, nurse, or staying at home - you get more kids, lots more kids.

Funny how that works!

I would give 10% of my savings account to have one week with the kids from 2007, both little kids, soccer, playing in the yard, battles at bathtime. I miss those days more than any others of my 68 years.

Once upon a time when I fresh out of grad school I mentioned I had children and the response was,”Why not just have pets?

Yes, we have those too. Apples and oranges.
