On your graph, California has the 5th highest birth rate at 1.95. A lot of Freepers comment negatively in regards to California, wishing it would drop into the sea, accusing it of being mostly nuts and gays. Nothing could be further from the truth. Lots of normal people in California, meaning conservative heterosexual family types, and they are having lots of children. I see lots of baby strollers and children here in the SF Bay Area, there are even lots of them in San Francisco. How does one explain that there are fewer kids being born in flyover states (with the exception of a few like Utah)?
Looks like there’ll be more Mormons than Baptists.
