20 to 25 seems to be a good number.

I'm going to have to talk with my kids.

The more sexually deviant and permissive the culture gets, the less people want to have children.

example: Japan (kiddie porn is even legal)

That’s OK, the government will just import more people from 3rd world countries to make up for it.

How about 50 million abortions since Roe vs. Wade?

I also think that most females don’t want the peer pressure to have an abortion. About the only people having kids these days are illegal aliens and “single moms” still in high school.

Sometimes I wonder if completely incorrect statements go unchallenged on FR because the majority of people are intelligently disregarding them without a word, or because people are believing them without any evidence at all.

I think our increasingly socialist society has something to do with it.

The producers can’t afford to have kids. The non producers do have kids but they’re also prime targets of the left for abortion.

Bears repeating. Abortion is not safe for children or other living things.

Intelligently disregarding them without a word. If I want to have an insane discussion based on dippy tv-shows and half-processed news, I have four sons under 10 who are brilliant at it.

(American-born, Catholic, married, 45 years old, expecting my 10th child early next year.)

Okay, possession, not creation, sale, distribution, or purchase. I think it's a little misleading to just call it legal without qualification, but hey.

Let’s see - $50,000 in direct debt, another $200,000 in unfunded debt, 10% unemployment, no GDP growth, weakening world standing, a currency that’s crashing, an ever-expanding Federal Government... Yeah, great time to bring a few kids into the world!

That makes such a huge difference to those exploited children I am sure.

I believe it has a lot to do with it.

A good younger friend of mine just had one. She still chose to believe the lie that the “doctor” told her: “it’s not really a baby just yet, just a clump of cells. Just take this pill and that will take care of it.”

Young women are still being told these lies, and they still choose to believe them.

So why don’t you inform all of us what the true demographic situation is here in the US, breaking down the birthrate for white, Hispanics, and blacks? Further, compare that to the demographic situation in both Europe, China, and Russia. Please use Europe as a cultural example of where America may be headed based upon demographic changes.

Some of us intelligent freepers are able to read between hastily worded lines and understand what the poster is trying to communicate.

Glancing at your previous posts on this thread, I see that you like to insult and tear down those freepers you think you are more intelligent than, sort of like those liberals who only know how to tear down a great nation but who have no idea how to build one. They’re happy, though, because they feel superior.
