Yes, the fertility rate for the globe has dropped since the beginning of the 20th century and the increase in the standard of living.
That’s interesting.
I believe my 10 aunts & uncles were born between 1916 & 1936 in rural England which was not an unusual size for farming families. Don’t know if city dwellers had as many children.
One question arises - what method of birth control/family planning do you suppose the Depression era couples used?
Probably the Ovulation Method which is 99% effective.

New ones that have been developed:
Standard Days Method
Rhythm/Calendar Method
Sympto-thermal Method
Basal Body Temperature Charting
Fertility Computers
Have a cheeseburger, Mrs. Beckham. Or fish-n-chips. Or something.

I see that the e-freaks are in a tizzy because to the Beckham family has recently been added a heinous and intolerable fourth child.
Which leads me to wonder ...
Has the sight of you and your family ever caused an e-freak's head to explode?
At the root cause of almost everything proposed by the left you will find that they want to drastically reduce the population by ANY means possible.
Notice how the bull dykes at NOW never says a word about China and how they treat woman? Simple because they abort anything over 1 child per couple.
How about a certain Hitler wannabe in the current administration who wants to put contraceptives in public drinking water.
How about the founder of Planned child killers er Parenthood who wanted to reduce the number of undesirables (read blacks) yet blacks support this wing of the dumbocrap party.
I was watching some PBS thing about the Mara river in Kenya and some black African yuppie ecologist was guiding two PBS wonks on a tour of the river. They were watching a bunch of zebra trying to get up the nerve to try to cross a narrow section with what looked like a billion crocodiles, and the ecologist was describing the wonderful government program which had brought the crocodiles back from the brink of extinction over the past 30 years. They were almost to the point of taking down bets as to how many of the zebra weren't going to make it when one of the Americans noticed a village two or three hundred meters downstream, and women washing clothes in the river while keeping a wary eye on the water and what might be underneath it.
One of the Americans asked the obvious question and the answer came back, roughly, as:
Quote: "Yeah, well, we lose a dozen or so of those silly Negroes a year that way but, hey, that's a small price to pay for restoring the balance of nature the way we have!!!"
I mean, you know perfectly well that clown would not tolerate crocodiles within 100 miles of HIS family. I mean, what could possibly be more fun than providing those villagers with a crate of AK47s and sufficient ammo and letting that idiot yuppie watch them kill every stinking one of those crocodiles?
leftism is anti-baby, anti-child, anti-family, anti-happiness, anti-faith, anti-love.
No, oddly enough, we sometimes get your basic, "You must be crazy," comments, and it's true, we are, but nothing about the environment or overpopulation, even in the Folk Society, which runs to hippie-flake types.
Apropos your other comment, I was surprised Victoria Beckham was able to conceive, in her emaciated state, but I'm happy for them.
