States above, at or near the needed fertility rate replacement level 2023
So are these the dumbest women?,
most incompetent women that cannot use birth control correctly?,
states with the fewest murderous mothers?
States with the greater adherence to natural law?
Or just useless data that demonstrates nothing of value because abortion and birth control statistics are not included to intentionally hide the evil in our society.
It’s like tracking how much money is saved in bad neighborhoods, excluding robbery data from the mix.
We WANT more babies. As long as the RIGHT people are having them!
It might depend on where we start counting. If I count from one set of grandparents, that family tree might live on forever, even though each subsequent generation had children at a lower rate. Those grandparents had eight children, 20 grandchildren, 37 great-grandchildren, and at last count, about 35 great-great grandchildren with more to come. That last generation will probably end up closer to 45, and they have begun having children of their own. But, if you started counting from my generation, some branches might come to an end.
True...but at least the seniors are TRYING to make some...😀
I believe that we aren’t having more kids is that your can’t really survive on one income. Daycare cost are expensive (and really not as good as if a relative or a spouse cared for the child) and some wants to keep up with the Jones ( not us, we might not have a fancy house or cars, but our kids are being raised by us), and brag about a cruise or a trip to Europe or a second or third house...
