The global birth rate is tanking..

And governments are treating this as "bad news".. Go figure.
Now we can discuss the why of it. Birth control in developed countries for women who want careers. Pullotion enetering the population through drugs,antibiotic overload and microplastics as well as heavy metals and toxins entering the water supply. Oy 'lifestyles of poor and fad diets and high fat ansodium causing obesity and lowering life expectancy in places like America.
The why isnt important.. But only a few short years ago overpopulation was the problem that was going to make the planet unlivable. And here is the solution presenting itself and governments see it as a problem.. Go Figure..😷

And in the U.S. add the high maternal mortality rate (not to mention the number of lawmakers who want to make childbirth compulsory) with no affordable healthcare…but plans that want to drop birth control and add Viagra (what is that message ?) No choice even after rape or forced incest.

I can’t see women putting up with that for much longer. 😳

@bijouxbroussard But they DO! Since over 50% of the US population is female I just dont get what is wrong with women putting up with this treatment. But thats a separate issue.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman We're about to see a Democratic landslide as an indication of how women feel about this treatment.

@LeopoldBloom I hope you are right. Just remember it has to flush down through the senate and the congress so that real change cant be blocked. And them we come to the states and Supreme court. Which really should be a question at all if the law was thr only factor in their decisions..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Every right that women have gained in this country, we fought for. Nobody handed it to us. Perhaps we had a "Taliban" moment with the MAGAs but hopefully, enough of us are realizing that we’re not in Afghanistan and are ready to turn things around.

@bijouxbroussard I sincerely hope so. I wont brand myself as a feminist here. But in my opinion, any society that wastes 50% of its intellectual potential deserves to fail..😷
