Seems related to the economy. I don’t know about you, but I’d prefer that people not have children they can’t afford.

Let's lay this at the foot of radical feminism.

Of four reasons: abortion, the Pill, career-obsessed women and costs, how many are linked directly to the radical feminist movement?

No doubt men are turned off out of fear of uncertainty in the marriage institution these days and concerned over future involvement with or even access to their own children.

I’m not all that plus a real-meat cheezburger ... just fortunate, in some areas, and very determined!

Wrong. Once again, you are missing the point. Let me be very clear.

Do you think the poster’s comment that you responded to was meant to be literal, that the only people having babies were young single mother’s and illegals?

Of course not.

So if the poster was not being literal, what was the implied point?

The point was as I explained it, that whites in America are on the fast-track to becoming a minority, because the current minorities are far out-pacing whites in their increasing numbers (both through higher birth-rates and through immigration).

That was my first point, not taking the words literally but reading between the lines.

My second point was to point out something I don’t understand, the apparent need of some posters on this board to insult the intelligence of other posters. Aren’t we all supposed to be on the same team? If so, rather than insulting, let’s just clarify what the point is that another is making and then, if it is not backed by the evidence we have gleaned in our studies, provide the alternative view or another set of information.

Right now only my husband, some FReepers, and an array of Spanish-speaking women know.

Exciting! God be with you!

Thank you. It’s getting pretty obvious at this point, so it’s a good thing I plan to go public shortly ;-).
