Just wondering if the birth rate drops now.

No sex going on.

If I was of child beàring age I would guard my life now .

Especially if you have children all ready .

1. Wouldn't that be ironic. They'd need more immigrants which

they don’t want.

Businesses would start to lose their growth potential and profits. We know that’s important to them.

Maybe they would mandate 3 children per woman due to the emergency need for more white nationalist births.

Seriously I put nothing past them.

2. If women stop having sex with men they will be raped or shot.

3. If not post menopausal, I most certainly would be on BC if I lived in a regressive State

And I say this as a married woman of over 30 years, who later in life stopped taking BC (partly for medical risk reasons) as my husband I became "less spontaneous" and used other methods and if those methods had failed knew termination was an option.

4. Look at Japan

There are myriad reasons for Japan's decreasing birth rate and shrinking population.

But a couple of key ones are the fact that the society is still very male driven and caters to male needs.

Neither the government nor corporations are very encouraging of working mothers, whether married or single, nor do they provide good support services.

And for such a technologically advanced society, the male population seems trapped in outmoded behaviors. And a lot of women don't want to put up with it and are not bothering to get married.

Add to that a reluctance to allow more immigrants (as well as a lot of continued racism and prejudice against foreigners), the country's population continues to shrink in size.

BTW, just to clarify, I'm not just Japan bashing here. I'm half-Japanese and Korean and I love the country. But it is not without its problems.

5. With the exception of 2021, it's been declining every year since 2014

According to CDC, around 3.66 million babies were born in 2021, representing a 1% increase from 2020. Since 2014, births in the United States have declined 2% every year and dropped 4% during the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2019 and 2020, the report said.

The fertility rate in the United States, which represents an estimate of the average number of babies a woman will have in her lifetime, also increased slightly in 2021 to 1.66, up from 1.64 in 2020, which was the lowest fertility rate the United States has seen since the government started tracking it in the 1930s.
