The U.S. birth rate reached an all-time low in 2013, as the number of babies born in the country declined for the sixth straight year since the peak in 2007, a new report finds.
The country's birth rate dipped to 62.5 births per 1,000 women between ages 15 and 44, according to the report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). That is 10 percent lower than the birth rate in 2007, which was 69.3 per 1,000 women, and a record low since the government started tracking birth rates in 1909, when birth rate was 126.8.
In 2013, there were 3.93 million babies born in the U.S., down less than 1 percent from 2012, and down 9 percent from 2007, when a record-breaking 4.32 million babies were born in the U.S.

We’ve had 9, 10, 11 and 12 since 2007. Obama never scared us. The future belongs to those who show up.
Congrats!
Overwhelm every country they migrate to by sheer numbers. The idea is to conquer their host.
caused by Global Warming! White Racism and George Bush.
Have Kids you Conservatives! raise em right too! Each couple should have two more! If you too old adopt.
You’re THE MAN!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Win, place, and show! Father Brian, co-founder of the Missionaries of the Poor, tells me every time we meet that I need to have 12 children, like his mother (in Jamaica, in poverty almost unimaginable in the U.S.).
Congratulations! We’ve had four more since then as well :)
I’ve only had two since 2007.
Bingo
Give them SS No’s and then they don’t have to fix that problem.
Well, everybody is gay now, so there’s that.
We have seven, doing our part!
self identified conservative American families (you know, a husband and a wife) average having THREE children
self identified liberal American couples average ONE child
Keep it going, folks!
Ah, no wonder the sunni head of the administration has a religious fervor towards obamination-care. Keep the majority birth rate below replacement or negative growth. Bet saul alinsky didn’t even think of that one. Probably has a lot to do with getting suicide legalized too in time for the end of life of the greatest generation.
I’ll have to remember to look up the politics of the hippy generation. You know, maybe we deserve all this crud.
What percentage of Americans will be of Northern Europeans ancestry in 2050 ?
Less and less potential workers to support the glut of freeloaders....which way will that wind blow when the bough breaks: will the People win or will the government finally have its final coup?
RE: What percentage of Americans will be of Northern Europeans ancestry in 2050 ?
I think the issue of where one’s ancestry is from is less important than what CULTURE and LANGUAGE America will be predominate 50 years from now.
America as we know it was founded on Judaeo-Christian principles. There is no guarantee that even if we suddenly have a huge wave of Northern Europeans coming that the same people will be holding to the same principles.
The average of the world’s great civilizations before they decline has been 250 to 300 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:
From bondage to spiritual faith,
From spiritual faith to great courage,
From courage to liberty,
From liberty to abundance,
From abundance to selfishness,
From selfishness to complacency,
From complacency to apathy,
From apathy to dependency,
From dependency back again to bondage.
