US TFR is 1.74 and below the replacement level of 2.1. It has plummeted rapidly over the past decade. American fertility dropped for briefly in the 1970s. So three things are important here: 1) why is this important, 2) what is the cause, and 3) how do we fix this?
Why is this important - It is disgusting that I need to say why this is important. It is disgusting that there are Malthusians who accept the lie of overpopulation even right here on Freerepublic. The primacy of reproduction is seen in God’s command to go forth and multiply. For the pagan scientists reading this it is seen in Darwin’s rules. For those who just want a strong America they must surely know that demography is destiny - nations who don’t reproduce will die off. This death may not be rapid but will instead be a slow drop in geopolitical power until such time that other nations begin to dictate what America does and it becomes essentially a vassal of some foreign power.
What is the cause - The cause is cultural. In the 1970s it was Paul Ehrlich who popularized overpopulation theories throughout the western world. These theories have been fully debunked but not before abortion was partially justified by overpopulation. Now the cultural cause is a narcissistic youth who promote faggotry and other gender bending theories.
What is the fix - Americans obey their party’s leader. So the GOP leader must emphasize the importance of increasing our birth rate. The bully pulpit is one way. The other is policy proposals. For example, shift the tax burden slightly away from families and toward single income earners. The government needs to stop funding many things, but in particular, birth control and abortion funding needs to be eliminated. The other disgusting practice that must be stopped is the government preferentially supporting women’s education. No federal program should exist that gives money to women who want a post secondary education as these women need to be barefoot and pregnant.
To my fellow Freepers - please push this key item of the Impimp agenda as it is at the top of my manifesto. I would love to hear your ideas about how we can help achieve this how the goal of a growing and prospering America may be achieved through filling the wombs of American women.
There are lots of babies being born in America. Trouble is, they have names like Juan and Mohammed.
Hungary is doing some interesting things to encourage children. If you haven’t seen any of that, you should look into it.
Mark Steyn writes about this at length. As he puts it, “The future belongs to those who show up for it.”
Way back in 1987, Neo-Con Ben Wattenberg (who is an expert in demography) wrote a book called “The Birth Dearth”. At the time, it created a buzz. It is now (like George Gilder’s important 1970 book “Sexual Suicide”) very much out of print and almost impossible to get.
When women are going to work, they are not at home being pregnant.
When you drive women out of the home, convincing them that a career is more important than being a wife and mother, can you really be surprised that the birth rate has dropped?
I think more young men are willing to marry than are young women. But the women ignore them, so the men turn to video games and porn.
Wow, what a simple-minded statement. Was this written by an American or a European or an Asian?
Oral contraceptives, commonly known as birth control pills were approved by the FDA on June 23, 1960.
Interestingly the sexual revolution also hit in the 60’s. Coincidence? Don’t think so.
Then abortion in the 1970’s.
And we are surprised the birth rate is dropping?
When in a few months it becomes apparent that the WuHan clotshots conferred sterility on a large percentage of recipients we will know part of the purpose of the vax campaign in conjunction with the open border and he millions upon millions of foreign riffraff that are being sucked into the USA.
