They then focus their energy on “getting” YOUR kids.
That way, they can pass on their values while still living a narcissistic lifestyle.

"How many women are childless because they had early abortions, STDs, or waited too long?" After 45 million abortions since Roe v. Wade, a huge number. And don't forget that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer and the incidence of endometriosis.
And, with STD infection rates at 50% or higher among sexually promiscuous young adults, many women are or will be sterile, also.

From the HealthNews Website, article titled STD's affect 26 Percent of Female Teens: On March 11, 2008 the Centers for Disease Control released data...study found that African-American girls are the most affected as almost 50 percent have an STD, compared to 20 percent of white teen girls and 20 percent of Mexican girls. The infection rate was 40 percent among all girls who admitted to being sexually active I find it interesting that the % of childless women is about the same percentage of women with STDs.

intelligent women having fewer children reduces the average level of intelligence>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NAH! You miss the point.
If they were intelligent , they WOULD be having children.
These women are less intelligent, and their genes deserve to enter the Darwinian scrap pile.
And on top of all that they likely have been so disintelligent as to create the very gurly men that they are loath to marry.
(I mean, Maureen O'Dowd went to Australia looking for a lumberjack type, she would have no truck with the panseys that feminist culture had created.)
Darwin Award in Order!

I heard a little of Boortz just before Rush came on one day, and he was reading some study that stated: single young college-age women are liberal, then when they get married, they become more conservative, then when they have children they become the most conservative (want the government to stay the 'H' out of their family's business), then when they get divorced, they become more liberal than ever.
The reason is that when they become divorced, single parents, they want the government to be their husband and take care of them and to be the father and raise their children.
I don't know if this is true, but it sounded cool.

The left (feminism) has pushed the idea of career fulfillment over family, or at least the lie that you can do both.
My assertion stands. The valuing of career over family is simply a reflection of social policies and cultural moves that have encouraged this attitude. It is not just something that happened in a vacuum.

Because 27% of women with graduate or professional degrees are childless, I will be less likely to encourage my daughter than my sons to pursue education beyond college or be career-oriented. The decisions will be theirs, of course.I think it is more about timing. Pursue the degrees after you have started a family. Having children is for the young. It's hard work.
BTW, I've been advising my sons that it is much smarter not to pursue career women. Life is much more fulfilling with a family.

“Did Rome REALLY fall because of homosexuality???? I think that is a myth.”
No Rome fell apart due to the complete disintegration of their culture and morality. Acceptance of things like homosexuality contributed to the downfall but were not the root cause.
JMHO

It’s pretty hard to find a “non-career” woman with above average intelligence today. People consider it almost a sin for a girl to be family orientated. At least here in the PRNYC.
Most men don’t want to marry young and women don’t want to wait for them.

Circa 2020, the USA will crumble beneath the weight of the demographic imperative, and there's no telling what will emerge to replace it [or even if anything will emerge at all]. Don't fall into the trap of the fear of change. The sons and daughters of the new immigrants (legal & illegal) will marry children of other ancestry. The children of the various waves of european immigrants did the same thing. The country has always thrived on new blood.

Adopt. In the present culture war, it is far more important to pass on your values than your genes.
I'll second that. Consider the Reagans, Michael and Ron, Jr. One has the genes, one has the values.

Its pretty hard to find a non-career woman with above average intelligence today. Only if you have a bias against traditional values. There are lots of places to look church, family friends, personal friends, at work.
Most men dont want to marry young and women dont want to wait for them.
Ever hear the phrase, "I can't find a good man, they're all married"?
The smart guys find the right girl and settle down. The perpetual adolescents are never ready to grow up and become adults.
