To Fix a Cratering Birthrate, Stop Killing Your Children
By Bonnie Chernin

In a recent interview, billionaire Elon Musk stated that the most serious problem we face as a society is that not enough children are being born.

I can't emphasize this enough.  There are not enough people.  And I think one of the biggest risks to civilization is the low birthrate and the rapidly declining birthrate.

He's right.  The statistics are grim: in 2020, the Centers for Disease Control reported that the U.S. birth rate is plummeting and is the lowest it has been since 1909.  The 2020 Census data show that population growth is the slowest since 1930.

Part of the population decline could have been avoided had abortion not wiped out 63 million preborn babies.  It's astonishing that people can talk about a demographic shift of the magnitude America is facing without including the tragedy of abortion.  It isn't just the 63 million people missing, but their children and the generations after them.  That loss is incalculable.

It is finally dawning on politicians that killing off our future generations was not in the best interest of America's future.  It is not just America; there is a dire global situation with childbirths below replacement levels in many countries.

To fix a cratering birth rate, work to descrease the cost of raising a family.  The greater the government's confiscation of our earnings, the less money to afford children.

It's deeper. It's a cultural thing. Childfree life is a celebration. Gone are the days when "first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage." Now it's "men are pigs, I'm a strong independent woman who doesn't need a man—and who wants to bring a kid into this world anyway?" All while still living in it.

Millennial women are going to drive humanity into disaster in the next few years... even bigger than the disaster we have now.

What is needed to get the birth rate for Euro-Caucasian women back to healthy levels:
1. End abortion
2. More importantly, ban birth control -- ALL of it
3. Deprive women of the "right to work" outside the home (with some exceptions, such as teachers, etc.)

Short of that... ain't gonna happen.

There was a time in history, probably up until the 1900's in the Western nations, when women had children because they could not stop themselves from having them.

As soon as women acquired the ability to avoid pregnancy, and vectors opened for terminating unwanted pregnancies, the birth rate collapsed.

It will NEVER return to those levels again, so long as women have the means to prevent and terminate pregnancies.

At least not in The West.
Women of The West "want their freedom".
And of course... over the long term... that will result in the "death of The West".
So... if The West is to survive... such "freedoms" will have to be denied women once again.

The wisest who walked the earth thousands of years past understood that the Family Unit was the foundational
essence of culture/society.
We have abandoned that core Principle, derived from the Natural Law, and will pay the price by our demise.
