Falling fertility on the left as key driver of US birth decline

(Excerpt) Read more at nature.com ...
They just left the last class of the day at Clown College.
Now now I doubt they went to FSU.
Well leftist women believe in abortion til birth anyway.
Now that's I'm in Denton I have to root for my dad's alta mater, the Aggies (he went to TX A&I), to end up second place in the SEC to my Gators.
Good. Maybe they’ll go extinct.
Thank you for not reproducing.
Ive been saying that, since 2020, the American right has been increasing its share of the population by about 0.5%/year. We should be up 3% and the left down 3%.
except the entire primary and secondary school system in the USA is leftist. leftists are made not born.
Well its hard to be upset about that. 😏
Homeschool.
Conservative parochial school. (Yeah, it’s tough on the budget - I had to decide between retirement investments and wifey and I sending our daughter to a good parochial school when she became a teen and past wifey’s ability to teach. (high school level) (-$$$)
We chose the latter.
Excellent! (Air guitar)
My eyes!
The growing numbers of homosexuals of both genders?
That gal on the right could be nice looking if she didn’t have such a morbid weight problem. Maybe it would have helped if she had a couple kids to chase after.
I wonder how happy she’s gonna be when she has an early heart attack.
The last birth cohort shown on the graph ends 1993, but the inflection point is 1973,Roe v. Wade, which, to me, means that kids in leftist households grew up preponderantly as “the only child;” that was strongly incorporated into the world view espoused by their parents through abortion, culturally as well. (There’s also the longer term trend with more univrsal tendency for families to tend toward replacement at 2 children) Although the oldest cohort is beyond child-bearing age, the youngest cohort is still having kids. I wonder whether the fertility decrement may also be related to leftist women , like AOC, delaying child bearing until late thirties /early forties .(This actually worked out ok in my family (4), but it wasn’t a matter of choice). Biology will reap an increasing toll, especially as the Fauci/ vax death spiral, greater leftist acceptance of vax during pregnancy, will intensify it. Well , they say in a few generations the Amish will outnumber everybody else.
Maybe your last sentence explains your 1st sentence.
oops, the final cohort showm ended 1982, not 1992, so they’re done child bearing also.
Texas A&I (now A&M-Kingsville) are the Javelinas.
Thanks. That picture shows exactly why this is happening.
When your child realizes that you murdered his siblings to the cheers of other Feminists, and that it could just as easily have been him you murdered, don’t be surprised when he wants nothing to do with families or having children.
