None of these would move the needle. The fundamental problem is that people don't _want_ children, because they are indoctrinated into an infantile worldview of seeking instant pleasure and gratification rather than deeper, long-term joy at seeing the fruit of their labors flourish in the form of well-raised children. Who wants to spend thousands on diapers and food for the kiddos when it could be spent on jet skis and vacations to Acapulco?

The solution involves restoring and teaching a Judeo-Christian worldview and fencing out the toxic humanist worldview that is now setting the stage (if Christ does not return) for a civilization-ending population collapse akin to the dark ages that ended the Roman Empire. Back then the western Empire saw cities become ghost towns with only 5-10% of their peak population, even before the barbarian invaders hit. The invaders were pushing in on an undefended door to an empty house.

I am convinced that Christian values are essential…but I am not convinced that fertility issues will be solved by solely Christian values. I think that unique government structures and solutions will be shown to work in some smaller nations…these successful techniques will then spread as other nations see their success.
