SALT LAKE CITY — American women might be waiting longer to have kids. But according to a new report, more women are having children than a decade ago.

A new Pew Research Center report found that the share of American women who have given birth was higher in 2016 than it was 10 years ago.

In fact, 86 percent of women from 40 to 44 years old said they were mothers, compared to 80 percent who said the same in 2016.

The number is similar to what it was back in the 1990s.

Gee, I wonder what the demographics on those motherhood numbers are. How many are married to a man who works for a living?! And of course, how many are non-white and on government assistance? Diversity in search of lots of babies and government money.

And I was hoping that this info was an indication that we were breaking free from the Leftist’s stranglehold over our life choices. I was thinking that Americans were becoming confident that this country is going to be Great Again! Maybe I’m wrong.......

Outside the cities, young white woman are having babies in droves. Seeing 22 or 23 year old women with 3 or 4 sweet youngins in tow is not unusual at all.

God programed all life to procreate. That is why your sexual urges go on well beyond egg fertilization by the sperm. That is just God’s wiring. By the way. it is that way for all life— plants, insects. fish, animals , ameba. every thing is born to breed. You cannot stop it . You will not stop it.

Promising. Hopefully, the Trump economic recovery will lead many women who put off having children during the Great Recession that didn’t really end until 2016 to have them.

These numbers would have to include mexican immigrants

sure seems like US Americans are being bred out of existence exponentially by recently immigrated HUGE Mexican families, Mexicans have great family values and are very family oriented, they take care of each other and the elderly, they all have six kids and those six kids have six kids,

hate to say it, but Mexican/Americans are kickin' ass on us selfish self centered WASP's who have to pay day care centers to raise our one kid from a divorced and estranged sperm doner dad and dump our old folks alone in trailer parks or old folks homes, and our one kid ends up indoctrinated by the socialist school brainwashing center into being self centered with assymetric self esteem

don't get me started , most Americans care more about their dogs and cats than their own family members/ other people

Stable families should have 3 kids. Good for the nation’s future. Get rid of the public school system.

I suspect those who dispose of babies and most of those mass producing babies are not good for ‘merica.

What is the breakdown by ethnicity?

White women have one or two, at most.

I am very encouraged when I go to Costco during school hours and see several women (some pregnant) with 1 to 4 children.
