Gee, my mother was 17 when she and my dad married (he was 19). Their marriage lasted until he died over 65 years later. But you know what? She had fertility issues, serious ones. When she died, I found a whole bunch of charts involving cycles, with dates and times for "Intercourse" circled and highlighted in her beautiful handwriting. This was in the late 40s and early 50s. As far as I can tell, my mother, using whatever was cutting edge fertility technology from when they married in 1946 through 1962 (and having a lot of that "i" word), was able to conceive exactly three times. I have two siblings, and older brother and a younger sister. When my sister was born, one of her gynecologists told her it was the least likely successful pregnancy he had ever been involved in. These folks have no sense of history. But of course they don't.
“A Conservative Role Model for Ending the Fertility Crisis”
There is no fertility crisis. There is, however, a “I can’t afford to live in this world” crisis. There is, also, a “I won’t bring children into this shitty and dangerous place” crisis.
Republicans are idiots who can't stand to have their authority challenged. And, women are certainly challenging their authority.
Republicans tried to ban abortion and abortions spiked. Yet, Republicans cannot figure out why more women are chosing abortion.
If I experienced an accidental pregnancy, I would definitely chose abortion just to spite the forced birthers. It wouldn't even be a difficult choice, Republicans want higher birthrates, nope, I will not comply.
Republicans will explain that there are no "accidental pregnancies". You see, all possible babbies Already Exist and reside with the Lord our God. They are joyously awaiting their turn at experiencing ceaseless trauma at the hands of their Republican Masters here on Earth. Once arrived -- or "given birth" -- they shall commence suffering, aging, dying, and returning to the Lord our God for further adventures in Eternal Punishment.
These idiots seem to forget. Women's Rights groups were driven forward by the Women who suffered through the 1950s as miserable housewives.
The Women who lived the nightmare of the 1950s, didn't want their daughters and granddaughters to suffer the same fate. So they marched and fought for their Rights.
For 400 years, White men straddled the globe as it's overlords. Now, that position of global power is threatened because women refuse to be obedient baby-machines. Those White men will become even more desperate as the White population shrinks, it's sad that they are too stupid to realize, you cannot force an American to do something they do not want to do.
Republicans try to ban abortion and abortions spiked, because women are angry and resentful. That makes them more likely to chose to terminate an unwanted pregnancy. It's pure spite.
These idiots have not forgotten. They want the '50s back. In fact, they want the 1850s back, certainly before the 14th Amendment ensured birthright citizenship and before the 13th Amendment freed the slaves. They know that women's rights groups were driven forward by women who suffered at the hands of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers. That's what they like! That's what they want!
I mean, birth rates are not dropping because nature is protecting non-human species, that's not how that works. You're implying there's something metaphysical going on.
A more like explanation is more control over accidental pregnancies, more stress and less hope leading to less desire for kids, possibly pollution, and something behavioural like what happened in the rat utopia experiments.
Misconception. The White couple who gave birth to a South Asia baby after an IVF mix up is a good example. That South Asian embryo didn't crawl into the lab by itself.
Many Black women are also waiting to have children, they are chosing to pursue careers.
Every time I hear someone complain about the “fertility crisis,” I look at the current global population of 8.3 billion, more people than have ever lived on this planet before, and think “what fertility crisis?”
Then I remember, oh yeah, they mean “not enough white babies.”
It’s the same thing when they talk about the need to “preserve our cultural identity,” which really means, “skin tone.”
Governments around the world are trying to raise birthrates. They need to focus on preparing the global economy for a shrinking population.
Unfortunately, corporations use a business model that requires steady population growth, and the steady increase in profits. Republicans are blind to the benefits of a smaller population. All they see are reduced profits.
Yes. The divorce rate in what's known as the Bible Belt is shockingly high--roughly 50% above the national average. The reasons are complicated: socio-economic, younger marriage ages, lack of living together prior to marriage, church attendance.
Saving America from what?
TLDR: it’s all fun n games until hubby gets home and tells her she’s being swapped out for someone he knocked up at work.
TYFYATTM
It's amazing how many of this trad wives have six figure jobs promoting other people not working
Its an elevated WFH gig

My mother had 17 pregnancies, only 7 of which were viable. A couple of them nearly killed her.
There's a reason maternal mortality is a statistic

A bunch of people who believe in an omnipotent God also believe that said omnipotent God is helpless against some chemicals in a pill.
That's some racist bullshit there! There is an unspoken " white" left out of just about every quote !
“A Conservative Role Model for Ending the(white) Fertility Crisis"
Like that.
Women who have great careers telling woman they can't have careers is a special high grade fucked up.

Birthrates are plummeting around the globe. The countries that still have high birthrates also have high mortality rates.
Can these morons wrap their head around 8 billion humans already struggling to survive on Earth.
Nature is self correcting, birthrates are dropping to prevent overpopulation.
White Conservatives are not special, their population will drop along with all the other humans on Earth.
Trying to force women to have children they do not want is not solving the problem.

Only if white, one more t in waters needed
Given the cost of infertility treatment in the US, aren't most of couples seeking it upper class white?
Misconception. The White couple who gave birth to a South Asia baby after an IVF mix up is a good example. That South Asian embryo didn't crawl into the lab by itself.

Alrighty then. I stand corrected.
Every time I hear someone complain about the “fertility crisis,” I look at the current global population of 8.3 billion, more people than have ever lived on this planet before, and think “what fertility crisis?”

They could solve their population problems with a healthy immigrant system
Lots of people out there looking for homes
Yes, but the people immigrating are well, you know.
While at the same time, corporations are falling over themselves to eliminate as many jobs as possible with AI.
It’s like they don’t understand their model isn’t sustainable.
"Because if people are Christian, they’ll be more likely to get married and have babies in 'traditional' households."
Wouldn't we want to encourage everyone to be Muslim then?
Muslims are also very traditional and tend have more children than average. Maybe avoid all Abrahamic religions if population reduction is your goal.
Maybe people who are christian get married younger and have more kids, but fewer divorces? That's a straight up lie.
Yes. The divorce rate in what's known as the Bible Belt is shockingly high--roughly 50% above the national average. The reasons are complicated: socio-economic, younger marriage ages, lack of living together prior to marriage, church attendance.
