Deseret News U.S. births declined in 2023, more women skipping prenatal care Birth rate down 2% from the past 2 years Aug 20, 2024
Lois M. Collins
The number of births in the U.S. and the fertility rate both declined from 2022 to 2023. And for the second year in a row, so did prenatal care in the first trimester of pregnancy, including a growing share of mothers who got no prenatal care at all.
That’s according to the final count for 2023 from the National Center on Health Statistics within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, released Tuesday.
The fertility rate is the number of births per 1,000 females of childbearing age, 15 to 44.
The report also noted that the preterm birth rate (before 37 completed weeks of gestation) didn’t change, but 3 in 10 babies were born at 37 to 38 weeks gestation.
According to the report, 3,596,017 births were recorded in the United States, down 2% from 2022 and 2021. The general fertility rate dropped 3% to 54.5 births per 1,000 females ages 15-44, which is considered child-bearing age.
The birth rate for teens ages 15-19 continued to fall, this time by 4% from 2022 to 13.1 births per 1,000 females. That number was down 6% compared to 2021. The biggest change (a 5% drop) was among teens 18-19. Among those 15-17, the birth rate declined 2%.
Compared to the most recent highest number of births, in 2007, that’s a 17% decrease in births and a 21% drop in the fertility rate.

Weird, the list did not post correctly.
The Great Replacement. Turn american women against their husbands and fathers by brainwashing them into becoming crazed communist liberals. Import millions and millions of replacement peoples every year.
No pre natal care? Didn’t Mullah Obama give us free health care ?

Birth rates are declining all over the world. The third world countries that are feeding into our illegal immigration pipeline also have birth rates below replacement level.
For a better understanding of what is going on, watch some youtube videos about the “mouse utopia” experiments. Despite having ample food, water, and shelter, the mouse colonies always started on a death pathway once the population reached a certain density. Their social behavior became deranged in ways that are very analogous to the human societal decays we have been observing for quite some time.
The culture of self-extermination is in play. No need to fight a war to defeat Western civilization - just corrupt it and teach it to draw the knife across its’ own neck.
Japan, South Korea and Singapore all have even lower birth rate than the U.S. so it's not just a problem in the Western world.
