A child is a “vote” for the continuation of your values and your culture. Apparently, many in the West don’t believe those things are worth saving. They’ve made their choice and there’s little to be done about it.

I’m not so sure American conservatives are going to repopulate the West by themselves. Liberals often come from conservative families (think baby boomers) and today about 80% of Christian children abandon their religion, at least for a time (http://mondaymorninginsight.com/index.php/site/comments/88_of_evangelical_children_leave_the_church_after_high_school/). While this doesn’t mean they will adopt liberal values, there does seem to be a correlation between church membership and large families.

So, what’s the solution? I don’t know, but if the trend continues, Western culture’s days are numbered.

Moreover, I wouldn’t worry too much about the Muslims dancing on our graves. Their culture is all about force. The Koran teaches Muslims to solve their problems through violence – crush the infidel, dismember and kill criminals, punish the victims to prevent rape, etc. I give them fifty years tops before they blow the Shiite out of each other.

After that? I suppose God can try again with the rats and roaches.

Perhaps the folks who feel this way can ensure that they have a ‘negative carbon footprint’: make high tech funeral arrangments so their body will ‘sequester’ the carbon presently contained, and commit suicide.

Of course, I would rather see them repent of their folly, and embrace all of the Divine commandments from “be fruitful and multiply” to “be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect”, but in some cases I suspect the heart is too hardened for that.

Low liberal birthrates, the result of high numbers of liberal homosexuals combined with what James Taranto terms, “the Roe effect”, high liberal abortion rates, will sharply diminish the number of MoveOn Democrats in the decades ahead. We can only hope that conservatives will have large families so we can keep control of the country.

The Western World is facing a demographic winter. I'd characterize it as civilizational suicide. What is going to be done about it? The Left is fixated as ever on abortion and zero population growth and reversing our technological progress and improved quality of life when in fact our situation calls for exactly the opposite prescription. No society has ever survived without progeny.

Very true. Let them “extinct” themselves and leave the breeders alone

Our church families just keep having more babies. It’s great! One family had 12 children, who have reproduced a good many times themselves. I love it! The more the merrier. Wish my kids would have more.
