But the big and long picture tells a different story.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Well then , do you not feel then the need to procreate?
....Oh you got it, as one Mr. Obama has proven!
If Texas rating was based upon how many babies are spit out like wet watermelon seeds from Illegals on welfare the “fertility rate” would be 68.7%.
Yes, and a M Stanton Evans ( Google him ) article was the topic on the Mark Levin Show this time last year and Mark talked about it at length.
The Article noted Reproduction Rates are in Favor of the Conservative Movement if the GOP would reach out to those that share our valves, and yes it is a diverse lot, and we need to ask everyone like Reagan, come walk with us with our Vision of and for America.
A link to a re-post of the IBD article below...

Oops, not share our valves but values :-)..
The Motley Fool is describing the data incorrectly in refering to fertility rate as “children born per woman”. The fertility rate is “Fertility rates are births per 1,000 women aged 15-44 years; total fertility rates are sums of birth rates for 5-year age groups multiplied by 5; birth rates by age are births per 1,000 women in specified age group estimated in each area.” as noted in the header of the chart they used (burried in a 87 page govt report). They extrapolated the total fertility rate to a rate of babies born on average to one person. although they dig deep into the data, the govt does not keep track of that info.
Interestingly the report shows that although the total number of births had declined over the last couple of years, the number of black and Hispanic birth have declined even more precipitously.
Hispanic births are down 100,000 from a couple of years ago from 1 million per year to 907,000 per year and black birth went from 627,000 to 583,000. The number of total birth in the US peaked at 4,316,233 in 2007 and in 2012 there were 3,952,841.
The best news is that the teen birth rate declined 6%.
...crap, you don’t think?
Naa, I’m a conservative.
