Guest Post by Antonius Aquinas
The destructive demographic effects of the leftist social engineering schemes of the past century are now being felt in the latest federal data on the precipitous decline in U.S. birth rates. A recent report from the Centers for Disease Control shows that the fertility rate among U.S. women has fallen to 1.62 births per woman in 2023, which is the lowest recorded rate since the government began keeping such statistics in the 1930s.
Buried in the media reports is the drop off in white women’s fertility rates, which fell some 3% from last year and stand less than the national average. Asian women and white women have equal reproductive capacities. The fertility rate is an estimate of the number of babies a woman would normally have in her lifetime. A rate of 2.1 births per woman is needed for a generation to replace itself.
While this demographic trend has been in motion for quite some time, the explanation for the fall in reproduction by the news media and think tanks devoted to the subject have largely missed the mark.
In its coverage of the story, The Wall Street Journal’s Jennifer Calfas and Anthony DeBarros cited such factors as “women establishing fulfilling careers,” and that they have more access to contraception.* The most fertile child-bearing group – young women – are putting off motherhood because they are uncertain about the future and are “spending more of their income on homeownership, student debt and child care.”
The reasons that The Journal and other commentators give to explain the decline in birth rates are the consequences of what took place in America and the Western world decades ago. Leftists had always wanted to break down and corrupt the traditional family. A splintered and dysfunctional family structure would be less likely to act as bulwark against its agenda.
One of the ways to accomplish this was to get women out of the household and into the labor market, as working and career women would have fewer opportunities to have children.
The feminist movement was more than just the attainment of “equal rights” for women. Its main objective was to lead women out of the home and away from their traditional roles as mothers and homemakers. The record drop in birth rates demonstrates how well this plan has been accomplished.
Besides the disruptive impact on family life and its size, working women are also an indication (and a much better one than government statistics) that living standards have fallen over the generations despite what the financial press has maintained about the economy. Some 50 to 60 years ago most women did not work, one income could sustain a family and even larger families at that.
Now, due to the dramatic increase in the cost of living – mostly due to the Federal Reserve’s inflationary monetary policies, D.C.’s unbridled lust of spending, and massive corporate bailouts and subsidies – real incomes have fallen. For most couples, it takes two full-time jobs to sustain a household which today is a lot smaller than earlier generations.
While the financial argument has merit, the most important factor has been the establishment’s relentless push to justify and make appealing the idea of working women. This arrangement has led to countless conflicts between the sexes in and out of the workplace.
Of course, this is not to say that women should be prohibited from the labor market or do so on a part-time, informal basis. Some, out of tragic circumstances, need to work or some may not be cut out for motherhood, but this should be the exception to the norm.
While anti-immigration voices have rightly focused on the cultural and political altering impact of mass illegal immigration, there has been less emphasis on the fundamental change of women’s role in society. Such neglect is probably due to a reluctance to take a moral position and appear chauvinistic or misogynistic. A healthy birth-rate model could offset the influx of unwanted immigrants.
Recently, Elon Musk wrote that “Any nation with a birth rate below replacement will eventually cease to exist.” When confused New World Order types like Musk recognize the seriousness of population collapse, it is time to worry. Yet, Musk and others do not understand the essence of the problem.
Without a reordering of society to its natural state and restoring the family as a fruitful and nurturing institution for child rearing, a demographic nightmare is in store for America and the Western world.

The primary factor is the birth control pill. In many third world countries where our powerists are not in control, the birth rates are also falling. To be honest, fewer children are more convenient and cheaper. Also, in our technically advanced world there are other things to do for fun besides having sex. That said, socialism is still the most evil idea ever conceived by man.
Much is due to economic destruction, too.

Cmon ladies!
WTF? Spread those legs for what? Men just want sex and if god forbid, the vagina that they came in results in a pregnancy…..buh bye !!
The time for women to have control of their wombs has been going on fo quite some time now and is coming to fruition. Ladies…make them PAY for it before AND after or lay on your stomach with your legs crossed!
lay on your stomach with your legs crossed!
Anal it is then! Arrgh! We made to the backwaters of Shipwreck Cove, lads!
Cmon ladies hell………….its time for white male FAGGOT democrats to make millions of those BUTTHOLE BABIES like motherly mayor BUTTPLUG !
Not sure exactly how it works butt it appears one of the perverted white male democrat faggot jizzes into the other faggots butthole and presto change-o out comes a faggot butthole baby !
There are many endearing photos of the motherly mayor BUTTPLUG in the maternity ward after the “birth” of the faggot butthole baby from couple years back.
Don’t forget the fake tittie harness so they can pretend to nurse their BB’s…
The young folks in the family told me at Christmas that there are no grandkids coming.
The co-pay for a insured birth was $15,000. And that doesn’t count diapers, formula, day care and doctors visits.
For niggers and spicks it’s free
Maybe, maybe not. One thing is certain. Heathen like yourself and others that think like you are in a world of shit… If I were you, and I am happy to say I am not, I would get on my knees, repent, and cleave to the real people of the book. That is the only way you and everything you love will not be destroyed. Personally, I hope you don’t take my advice. Inbred scum you, and all your peeps in that trailer park you live in need to suffer the consequences of your stupidity. Jus Sayin’…lmao
Just tell the hospital you are illegal immigrants.
Solved.
That’s illegal aliens … an enormous difference …
Well if you’re gonna split hairs let’s stick with asylum applicants.
Which is a good choice because uSA is now an asylum.
The problem and the question is why don’t the people decide these costs? All the American people seem to be able to do is react and adjust to rising inflation and living costs, but not change the economic landscape. Where is the domestic economy planning to include living wages? Will any of this happen before the country is officially ended.
Who the fuck would want to bring a kid into this abattoir.
Any married couple who loves God.
… and each other …
There are many single, divorced and widowed women that undergo intrauterine insemination (IUI) for example, that want children and want to carry on their heritage/family line.
No fathers? Great.
Not very nice for the children.
Some might say cheating.
And maybe selfish.
Anyone who seeks eternity for their branch.
Eternity is rapidly coming to an end.
Show us the rain, Noah! Well? We’re waiting…!
Some things never change. There are always those who will refuse to believe even as it’s happening to them.
This is what I’m sayin. It’s a decision, not a fertility issue.
No supply chain problems with female hispanic illegals. They pop em’ out like a spilled bag of pinto beans.
Why would young white women want to bring children into this world? Who can blame them?
Even black females are figuring out that the career choice of being a single mother of 4 and receiving welfare and food assistance and section 8 and medical care, for free, ain’t what it used to be with inflation raging.
The Free Shit Army is turning brown. Hopefully the Gov. won’t arm them but I’m starting to wonder.
The power-mad gang went full off the rails in the early 1970’s with quack Dr. Paul Earlich book ” The Population Bomb .” Kissinger + Haig built the Office of Population Affairs at State Dept. in 1975. Policy was / is , no USAID for countries if they do not curb populations by ” various ” methods. The 1970 DOD budget included $ 10 million for research into a new germ – pathogen that did not exist in nature, and humans would have no immune defense for. Evidence is found in the 1969 appropriations hearings.
“A total population of 250-300 million people, a 95% decline from present levels, would be ideal.”

Predictive programming : Logan’s Run = Nobody gets to live past 30.
The Children of Men ( 2013 ) = Births worldwide stop for unknown reason. One lone pregnant woman must be delivered through war zones to safety.
…and, of course, the one lone pregnant woman was black.
Although there are many reasons for infertility, the one sinister cause is the effects of receiving mRNA cv-19 injections. Without long-term safety studies, how can anyone conclude it’s safe for pregnant women to receive these toxic gene therapies?
Stolen elections have consequences

U.S. Fertility Rates Collapse
Biden “That headline makes us look bad. Fix it!”
U.S. Futility Rates On The Rise
Biden “What the fuck? That’s worse!”
U.S. Feudal Rates On The Rise
Biden “Why the fuck did we hire you?”
Hunter “Because I kick up ten percent dad.”
Nice twist at the end. It was that joke’s only saving grace.
Oh. That’s what a compliment looks like.
Sinister silence over vaccine damage in pregnancy
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) in the vaccines is a component of the nanoparticle used to deliver genetic material into the cells and is known to be toxic to foetuses. The lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) can produce spike proteins inside the cells of ovaries which can cause an immune response to ‘infected’ ovarian cells.
Mr Plothe said: ‘Women of childbearing age and pregnant women had been excluded from trials because of fears of maternal-foetal risks with lipid nanoparticles. A study from the Japanese government found that women’s ovaries were the most likely place for the spike protein to accumulate and that the injected mRNA persisted in most for two months; spike protein production persisted for 15 months.’
The US military’s version of VAERS showed 2+ years ago that 92% of women in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy lost those unborn children after being jabbed.
Ninety-two Percent …
The fertility rate did NOT decline. The conception rate did. Then, looking at the conception rate against birth rate the decline comes from abortions, miscarriages, and the COVID “vaccine and booster” debacle. The miscarriage rate, before the COVID “vaccine and booster” kill shots was steady. The kill shots since 2020 have contributed to an increase in miscarriages.
All part of the plan. Gates and crew are evil
You wouldn’t know it by my family. I have four new nieces and nephews, greats, in the last several months. As far as I know, all were probably vaxxed at least once. All are completely white. Daughter is next on the list, if the vax didn’t mess her up.
Have you seen the memes lately?!
Used to be that fat, purple haired, bespectacled lesbian types were rare outliers in society… now you can’t throw a stick in public without hitting one.
Ain’t no procreating with that crowd.
gays do not produce children , that is why the lifestyle is pushed as ‘ cool & hip. ‘
That’s why they have to recruit.
Never let them tell you differently…and they will try to at every opportunity.
As Pete Butteplugge and numerous other gay men have shown — they don’t procreate — they buy their children — by surrogate — as long as the baby is up to their standards of perfection — otherwise they’ll have the surrogate abort it.
It’s still a step up to a nigger fresh out of the jungle. You see where this is headed, right?
Trust in God, not statistics.
Gee, fertility rates are collapsing worldwide immediately following a mass vaccination program.
Anecdotal my ass.
The nation will benefit from those people not reproducing.
Dumb people are still reproducing. Doesn’t bode well. A buddy of mind with a PdD in chemistry married a woman with a PhD in chemistry. They have one kid and they’re past breeding age.
Oh thank god.
I thought for sure you were gonna say the kid had no chemistry.
And I was like “That’s a shame.”
A nation of people who reject God are likely to fall for just about anything. Feminism, homosexuality, abortion, women’s rights, transgenderism, environmentalism, etc…. Once a nation forgets God and His laws, their ability to recognize all the things that are designed to destroy them is gone.
Right.
Because no believers ever pursue such.
Many claim the name, but few are in the fold.
Listening to the left has only brought MISERY on this world. Lonely crazed a s s women desperate for husbands, disgruntled angry white men, and all in all FRUSTRATED white people who have disdain for *egro worship put on us by the left.
Y’all… it’s the vax!!!
All around the medical bush
The Fauci scared the people,
The people thought it was the cure,
POP goes the needle.
China “US-A feltivity lates ale dlopping”
The fact that the authors do not cite the devastating effect of theMRNA vaccines on the unprecedented increase in miscarriages and the lack of fertility in men and women is travesty.

It’s always them, Boo Boo.
skewed
Micro-plastics in sperm are lowering fertility. But you-all can’t blame women for that, so pffft.

Stop using the fucking words “fertility” and “birth rates” interchangeably. THEY’RE NOT!
A decision not to have children is NOT a fucking “fertility” issue.
IF there were a “fertility” problem, the fucking abortion clinics would be out of business! But they AREN’T, are they?
It’s ALL bullshit…front to back.
Yeah man!
-The most fertile child-bearing group – young women – are putting off motherhood because they are uncertain about the future and are “spending more of their income on home ownership, student debt and child care.”-
On childcare?? Who’s children is she paying child care for then?
