I have 4 young(ish) adult "children", all in their 30s, all doing well in their careers, and 3 grandkids.
I have long considered the 1972 "The Limits To Growth" projections, since learning about them in 10th grade in 1974.
I have been interested that young people do not think it is a good world, in which to raise children these days. That is the most often cited reason that I have been given for at least 15 years for deciding not to have children "until that gets better".
Part of that may be debt burdens placed on young college grads, and not being able to afford a house, but we were able to sacrifice and none of our offspring have had such educational debt since 2018, and it was only the one who went to med school.
Two of the four have kids, one wants to soon, and one remains reluctant for reasons of the world that is coming, though he and his wife are doing well, as he is a manufacturing engineer in aerospace, and irreplaceable at his company.
People are not all puppets.
People are thoughtful about the choice to bring children into the world and raise them properly, as we have done in our family.
Yes, some people are less thoughtful and dependent upon economic waves, but we are entering a time of less and less and less material prosperity in our world, and the culling of human populations by our "owners" (Carlin) is already underway, since the slow-poison mRNA "{vaccine products" were introduced in 2021, increasing the baseling of cancers, autoimmune disease, heart attacks and strokes.
US fertility rates have fallen mainly because people are choosing to have fewer children or to have them later, NOT because they’re unable to. The biggest drivers are economic and social: the rising cost of housing, childcare, healthcare, and education; delayed marriage and longer periods spent in school or building careers; and shifting cultural norms that place less emphasis on having large families (or any children at all).
At the same time, better access to contraception has sharply reduced unintended pregnancies, especially among younger people, which has contributed significantly to the overall decline.
Biological factors DO NOT APPEAR to play a known role in this trend, according to multiple large population-based studies over the last 3 decades. All credible evidence shows that underlying fertility (the ability to conceive) hasn’t declined enough to explain the drop in birth rates, but indicators like reduced rates of unintended pregnancy point very clearly toward changes in behavior, NOT BIOLOGY. There is ongoing debate about potential environmental or health influences, but these remain secondary and uncertain compared to the much clearer impact of economic pressures and personal choices.
Frankly: American women must be dissuaded from thinking 1) that abortion is "health care"; 2) that it's a "human right"; and 3) that it is necessarily preferable to putting a newborn up for adoption. Given how much Christian morality has been dismissed and ridiculed, other arguments favoring natality can nonetheless be made.
WE WILL SAY IT AGAIN. COVID JABS AND OTHER JABS ARE DOING THIS. LOOK AT THE CHILDHOOD SCHEDULE. THIS IS DONE ON PURPOSE TO DEPOP US SO IT IS EASIER TO CONTROL LESS POPULATION.
Here we go, another Big Harma shill. You have had one too many covid jabs yourself and it is causing your cognitive dysfunction (another adverse event of the covid jab).
Like we trust JAMA, AMA, AAP at all. LOL.
COVID JABS CAUSE MISCARRIAGES AND MENSES PROBLEMS. COVID JABS CAUSE DEATH AND DISABILITY. COVID JABS CAUSE INFERTILITY. AND SO DO OTHER JABS.
Studies done decades ago show the effect of over-crowding. Nature seeks to avoid that extreme by cutting back the population that is over the limit. So, naturally, births are declining in the human population. This is so obvious that the study should be shifted to highlighting why decline in births is not be honoured !
I understand why it's not included in this article, but an elephant in the room is abortion. Total abortions in 2024 were 1,141,830, up from 1.05 million in 2023 (8.7% increase). Not only is this number significant, but from year to year, most are due to different individuals choosing abortion, so there is a large pool of women who may have scarring or other procedure related injuries that prevent full term pregnancy. With medication abortions accounting for 63% of abortions in 2024, accomplished without a medical professional and no verification of the number of weeks a woman is pregnant, the likelihood of injury is higher. Add to this the 2023 reported 1,648,568 cases of Chlamydia, which, depending on disease progression when identified can cause infertility, though that is also not something we like to acknowledge in our culture. Clearly, the sexual "freedom" we supposedly have creates a hellish future for many who later decide to have a family.
Stop vaccinated the young , stop spraying the skies, stop poisoning the Water with Fluoride and Tetrazine , stop uduterating the food, stop spraying the crops with Glysophates ,stop the sedentary lifestyle ,stop wearing chemical infused tight synthetics ,stop using Razors with gel blades , get out outside into the sunshine ,stop working so hard ,stop being stressed, stop the lack of sleep stop using so many electronics ,get out of Cities etc etc .
I can tell you some of the problems can get to be very H A I R y completely X ivy with am.protein problems the later being a guess BUT rest assured X. Marks all the map for the treasure lies beneath. THANK YOU MAHA. RFK and team... ITS been being A Really Good SHOW.
I hope MAHA is focused on the dangerous health and environmental impacts of Micro-Particulate Highway Pollutants, like PM 2.5, as well as Brake and Tire Wear Powder, in order to protect hundreds of millions of at-risk individuals across the US?
All three of these pollutants can be in the form of microscopic particles, which when breathed in, pass through the walls of one’s lungs and can be carried, by one's bloodstream, into organs, like one’s brain, and, in the case of pregnant women, into the child or children they are carrying!!!
I wonder if these particles might also impact woman fertility and male sperm counts?
As it relates to the health impacts of PM 2.5, note the following scientific article:

War and famine are joining the parade now...

COVID SHOTS ARE THE REASON 4 POPULATION REDUCTION!!
One of the factors that wasn’t mentioned is the role that societal movements had. When JFK was President, the feminist movement was gaining ground.
Now, with technology and more influencers, there is more push to not have kids.
Here’s an article on the impact of feminism on society and ultimately fertility rates as well: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-feminism-and-dei-destroy-humanitys
Another big factor is the widespread damage from the mRNA vaccine that flooded bodies with the toxic spike protein.

Not surprised: not a good world to bring a child in to. Especially after the COVID pandemic and neuro toxin vaccines forced for children already here.
RFK lists fertility rates incorrectly as percentages.
Hard to believe
