Why aren't Americans having more babies ?

US fertility rate crashes to historic low as America heads for 'population crisis' by 2050.
The fertility rate in the US has plunged to another new low, with fewer women than at any point in history having children.
The rate was 54.5 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age (15 to 44 years old) last year, a three percent fall compared to 56 in 2022.
The number of babies born in the US also declined year-over-year, with just under 3.6million live births in 2023.
At the same time, immigration is soaring, with a record 2.6million immigrants coming to the US legally in 2022, and up to 14million people when accounting for illegal migration.
Experts say the US is headed for a so-called 'underpopulation crisis' by 2050, when too few people are born to support its current economic system.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout About 78% of all women DO want abortions to be legal.

It’s between a woman and her Dr…
Just pay for it yourself. The tax payer didn’t impregnate you! ✊🏻

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout If insurance pays for it...........or you pay yourself.........it SHOULD be the woman's decisions..........not an old white Republican.

@anythingoes477 so planned parenthood wasn’t getting a big bag of federal money.. ?
until SCOTUS pushed it back onto the states?

This is the only reason repubs care about abortions.. it’s the campaign donations from PP to stalwart dem politicians every election cycle

and that’s why the dems care about abortions. They used to get a big bag of free money for their re-election campaigns .. now the states have to find that money…

Nobody cares about the baby killin

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Planned Parenthood got Medicaid reimbursements and some funding from Health and Human Services.

The argument you make can be reversed pretty easily. All we have to do it substitute the NRA for PP.. No one who is getting campaign "donations" from the NRA to give favorable laws to the NRA gives a shit about baby killing either. The #1 death over ALL other causes combined of juveniles in the U.S. is from firearms. Check that out if you want...........but that a fact. So naturally all Republicans care about is if we protect the NRA......which then shovels cash into Republican pockets.

It works both ways. One party supports the choice of women to decide about their bodies..and family choices.....the other party cares about "donations" from an organization that supports the killing of kids another way.
