The United States is in the midst of what some worry is a baby crisis. The number of women giving birth has been declining for years and just hit a historic low. If the trend continues — and experts disagree on whether it will — the country could face economic and cultural turmoil.

According to provisional 2016 population data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday, the number of births fell 1 percent from a year earlier, bringing the general fertility rate to 62.0 births per 1,000 women ages 15 to 44. The trend is being driven by a decline in birthrates for teens and 20-somethings. The birthrate for women in their 30s and 40s increased — but not enough to make up for the lower numbers in their younger peers.

After reading earlier this year that the abortion rate has hit it's lowest mark since Roe V Wade..... people just aren't getting jiggy wit' it -- nearly enough.

Climate Change may destroy the country in 200 years -- but, we may die off before then


I this a result of militant feminism? ()

The stupid is just far more concentrated, especially in Florida.

Naw, it's the evolution of society.

Birth control pills become legal in 1964 and 'mostly safe' by 1980. Abortion was legal in 1973. And for the last fifty years we've had sex ed in the schools. We even had the phony AIDS scare in the 1980s.

People still get it on. They just have more knowledge about how to not sneak one past the goalie. Ultimately, it will doom Social Security and any other program dependent on the young supporting the old financially.
