Angela Merkel has no children

[A. Pole]

Bring Turkey and other Muslim countries into EU. This will fix the problem.

[Bogey78O]

Well it's natural. There are fewer French. Without their natural prey, the Germans are doomed to die off slowly.

[Giant Conservative]

Ban abortion and ask the fathers of the babies born to stay at home with the kids as their children's primary caregivers while the wives go out into the workforce and earn big paychecks.

[SteveMcKing]

If the vacuum isn't filled by family, children, and culture, then more destructive forces are happy to move in and take control.

[TheCrusader]

Pat Buchanan predicted this would happen years ago, as well as stating the need for a fence on the Mexican border. Of course he was laughed at, but.......

[purpleland]

Teutonic deculturation by decreasing reproduction. German Muslims, especially those who are polygamous, are breeding like, well, like - unmentionables. I wonder what the abortion rate is in Germany...

[Torie]

It will be interesting to see if Germany changes the economic incentives and subsidies away from the old to the young, and those with children. I tend to doubt it.

[metmom]

"If the birth rate continues to fall, Germans are at risk of dying out," said Harald Michel, the head of the Institute for Applied Demography. He foresees a future in which the workforce will be unable to support the elderly, nor indeed the country.

Then the muslimes can take over when the last of the Germans are gone. A bloodless revolution. And, of course the workforce would be unable to support the elderly Germans; they are all on welfare now.

[MediaAnalyst]

Although the MSM won't tell the (white) Europeans the truth, which is that their culture will be extinct in 2 or 3 decades - unless drastic action is taken, it does look like Ms. Merkel is starting to condition them for the truth.

The bottom line is that since women now have options in which children only get in the way, a large number of women, including Ms. Merkel herself, have decided against children.

The solution - easy, treat childrearing as a profession, and have the government pay families to have children (something like US $4,000 to $5,000 per year, per kid, up to 10 kids). Exclude the Muslims, of course, since they're not having any problems with procreation anyway.

Forget things like day care and that garbage, simply pay the parents to produce.

I would like to make a donation. ;-)

We can just send some of our babies over to Germany. They're called Democrats.

[Semper Paratus]

The valkyrie on Project Runway is doing her bit.

[CzarNicky]

Past reluctance to tackle the problem is largely explained by the sensitivity of child-bearing in a country which, under the Nazis, did all it could to raise the birth rate for the state.

Did the Germans rip up the Autobahn after World War 2?

[sageb1]

The fact that Angela Merkel doesn't have children doesn't bother me. If women are that fiercely dedicated to the idea of having a career, then it follows that they will not be able to dedicate the proper time to raising a family.

Shifting economic aid to young families is not the answer. One of the biggest reasons women work while trying to raise a family is the fear that if they do not, they will become destitute should they outlive their husbands. I would like to hear more debate on how to solve this problem because it will be the only way to convince women to have children and raise them themselves instead of relying on the socialist network to raise their children for them.

[Mike Darancette]

But she is fully aware that the onus is on her, the country's first female leader, to improve the lot of women, raise the birth rate and put Germany back at the top as an economic power within a decade.

I thought being barefoot and pregnant was not having your lot improved.

[0siris]

There are some really hot German women. Der Vaterland has my service to perform this noble duty, one in which I'm willing to perform time and time and time and time and time and time and time again. Ich mochte helfen, bitte. Ich brauche helfen. Bitte, BITTE!!!!

[john drake]

I'm always amazed that this issue rises on occasion, and nothing changes. The downward demographic shift was projected over 30 years ago, yet no one paid any attention. Pope Paul VI issued his encyclical Humane Vitae condemning contraception and abortion, realizing the outcome. And several decades before Paul VI, in the late 19th Century, another Pope Leo XII, I believe, stated that contraception was race suicide. Well, tsk, tsk, so much for telling the Church it doesn't have a clue about modern society. I guess as "modern" Western society heads down the muslim dominated toilet, people will continue to deny the wisdom of the Holy Fathers over the past 100 years on this issue. Nothing like a post Christian, neo pagan, socialist, materialist, humanist society committing slow suicide over the last four decades in particular. Hold on to your hats, boys and girls, the ride is going to get a lot rougher, unless you start procreating and decide to save your civilization. A bigger house, fancier car and more vacations ain't going to do you much good if mohammed changes the rules on you and either attempts to enslave you or saw your head off. But then again, I suspect many more would rather convert and going on living a lie.

[Paradox]

Socialism leads to death. It is as simple as this. In the long run, it is unsustainable, it collapses on itself. Socialism is Westernism run wild, in the US, we have this problem as well (we are Socialism-lite), only not quite as bad.

[F16Fighter]

"The Nazi ideal of kinder, küche, kirche (children, kitchen, church) still prevails," said Jutta Schmidt, 33, a sociologist and mother of two children from Hamburg.

Just what Nazi "church" was an "ideal"?? The 'Church of Satan'?

Typical. Another brainwashed "sociologist."

[GOPJ]

Some observers attribute the trend to young people's reluctance to sacrifice their comfortable way of life and leisure time to bring up the next generation. Others argue that German society expects women to stay at home to look after the family and that child care is inadequate and expensive.

Every country with "social security" has a problem with women having children. And the more "social security" the more problem. It's not that women have kids to help them in their old age or to offer protection from life's ups and downs ... wait...oh, well, never mind.
