Again for people (racists), complaining about falling birth rates:

The birth rate for women over 40 is not falling. The birth rate for women over 30 is not falling.

What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids.

Also, this is an interesting way of saying that "Teen pregnancy is down, due to sex education and contraception."

In 1991 25% of 15 year olds gave birth before they turned 21. That's bad. Now it's 6%. That's better.

Y'all are literally complaining that not enough white children aged 15 to 17 are getting pregnant.

Do you even hear yourselves?

You know y'all are saying this out loud right? And that other people can hear you?

I'm running out of ways to tell you that this is a good thing.

I don't know how much you know about anatomy or biology, or how long 9 months is... but the things required for a 15 year old to give birth, are not good.

Less of that is a good thing.

👴🏻But Mekka! Without young people, our economy will collapse! We need fresh meat! I mean workers! To serve me! Always serving me!

🧔🏿‍♂️Young workers are smuggling themselves into the country, just to serve you. Will you let them?

👴🏻No! Illegal!

🤦🏿‍♂️
NYC has a 400K person blue collar worker shortage🤯

NYC has 10K+ legal migrants that want to work, but work permits are delayed.

If you were NYC mayor, would you:
a) Issue temporary work permits, and not enforce fed law?👍🏿

b) Make the migrants homeless?🤡

👴🏻But growing our population through immigration ain't natural! We should grow it like we've always grown it: through good old American procreation!

🧔🏿‍♂️A) Don't procreate with children. Not debating this.

🧔🏿‍♂️B) No, that's not how the US population grew

Shout out to all my fellow Americans that still believe in Santa, the Easter Bunny, and that the US population got to 350 million mostly white people, in only 400 years, due to the "hard work" of a few boatloads of frisky settlers.

But let's talk about replacing the births that girls aren't having as much anymore, with births that women can have.

* Provide affordable housing
* Provide reproductive rights, education, and care
* Provide affordable healthcare and medical care
* Provide affordable childcare
* Provide women equal access to higher education and employment, and equal compensation

Then *women* that *want* to have kids *choose* to have kids.

* partners who actually participate in child rearing
* bosses and coworkers who don't consider a child to be something that makes them less valuable
* bosses and coworkers who will encourage their partner to take time off to help with child rearing just as much as they will encourage them to do so

excellent post! It seems like the red states are hoping to "solve" the falling birth rate "problem" by banning abortion. More child labor! I kinda wonder if young people will rebel by just not having as much sex.

When I was a first year college student in 1974 I remember looking through my high school yearbook & one out of 3 (rural white & native) girls who had graduated with me a few months earlier was pregnant, had a child, was married, or/& was dead.

The past was not bucolic glory. Twas widespread fear, resignation, & despair, & did not build character.

You are right. Sex ed works. Contraception & abortion work. Equality works. College aid works. Opportunity works. Progress exists.
