We've had less than replacement fertility rates for 50 years. Our population has grown primarily due to immigration. Halting immigration won't make women have more babies. Social policy such as universal healthcare, paid maternity leave and subsidized childcare might.

This headline is a new low you fucking creeps. “The American right vocally unhappy teenage girls aren’t having more babies” would be more honest. God, the water this rag carries for Nazi perverts has no limit.

Because the country is really leaning in on policies to help families raise health kids (healthcare? child care? college/university fees? housing? environment? sane vaccination policies? banning books? cutting educational funding? I could go on and on. Instead building monuments to Dear Leader.

This picture is a 100 times better than any Artemis II pictures.

Nobody wants your jewish terrorist babies, not even if you radiation attack everyone else into cancer and infertility. Cheap Rothsvhild crime tribe tactics are not working, you just proved why they should not have kids with mass murdering satanists.

What a surprise ! the U S of A is such a paradise right now, who could have thought ?

Oh the Earth will continue and be better off without humans on it

WaPo continues to both-sides everything rather than simply explore why the U.S. “birth rate” is declining.

Teen pregnancy is bad Being priced out and wondering why should I bring someone into this current world is worrisome

This is about birth rates Ask Lee Zeldin why fertility rates are lower. www.edf.org/media/epa-di....

Why do my comments on articles get rejected for simply containing the word 'Israel?'

is this truly fertility rate, or the birth rate???

Who can afford to have kids nowadays? You have millions upon millions of people who work just to subsist while a sliver of the population takes all the money.

The future looks unbearably awful and having children seems immoral. How can we ask them to tolerate times such as these ?

The trash at wapo refuse to headline republican incompetence.

this is good right, because the ai is replacing all of the jobs? so there won't be any work for people of the future?? The billionnaires can fill the roles with robots?

Republicans are worried child-rape has become taboo.

Biologists, geographers, demographers... have been warning for half a century that the world is way over a sustainable population. The only way for Americans to sustain their standard of living is to deny many others the same, and that's now coming to an end.

Average childcare for infants is approaching $15,000 a year, which is about the same as someone making federal minimum wage, $7.25 an hour, if they worked 40 hours for 52 weeks. Of course there are other living costs like rent, health care, food, utilities, transportation, insurance etc.

No one applauds it. Others simply acknowledge that low economic confidence explains it

How about making the world palatable so people don't feel extreme guilt bringing children into this Trumpian MAGAt white Christian nationalist Nazi hellscape?

By young women are you referring to teenagers?

Correction: Fewer teenage girls are having babies. Not women, girls. Conservatives want to rape girls, hence the concern.

Gilead is coming.
