US birthrates drop in to danger zone! Have more
babies or else! by Ann Corcoran 5/18/18
Birth dearth: Millennials’ rejection of parenthood could be lethal blow to Western civilization. Births plunge to record lows in U.S. By LEO HOHMANN
Birth dearth: Millennials’ rejection of parenthood could be lethal blow to Western civilization. Births plunge to record lows in U.S. By LEO HOHMANN
There
is no sense dancing around the subject….. The “or else” is frankly that the
immigrant/Muslim population will boom as we go bust (and they are counting on
it).
Remember we are old they say!
Leo Hohmann has a good analysis yesterday entitled:
Birth dearth: Millennials’ rejection of parenthood could be
lethal blow to Western civilization
Here
are just a few snips to whet your appetite, but please read it all and then
send it to everyone you know!
America
has entered a demographic winter that should make every patriotic citizen
shiver with concerns for their children’s future. That is, if they have any
children.
It’s a problem you won’t hear much about in the media but it’s been
brewing for years. For many feminists, to even talk about
it is tantamount to the unforgivable sin.
But
all denials aside, this problem is as plain as the nose on little Johnnie’s
face: The birth rate in these United States of America is imploding. We are now
in the same range as the European death spiral.
The fertility rate now stands at 1.7 births per woman. For a generation
of Americans to replace itself, it takes a fertility rate of at least 2.1
children per woman.
The
U.S. was, until a few years ago, among a handful of developed countries that
could muster the pivotal 2.1 threshold.
A
39-year-old Christian woman who has worked in Germany’s migrant camps for years
told The Express that Christians in those camps are harassed and intimidated.
They
thought she was a Muslim, so they confided in her.
“Some women told me, ‘We will multiply our numbers. We must have more
children than the Christians because it’s the only way we can destroy them
here.’”
U.S. Muslims have repeatedly boasted of the same strategy.
Read it all and send it out far and wide (especially
to your young friends)!
Wouldn’t
you love to see a campaign from the White House to encourage Americans to have
babies!
It
is funny, of all the things I have said here in nearly 11 years, when I urge
young patriots to have more babies it sets the Libs hair on fire!
America has entered a
demographic winter that should make every patriotic citizen shiver with
concerns for their children’s future. That is, if they have
any children.
It’s a problem you won’t
hear much about in the media but it’s been brewing for years. For many
feminists, to even talk about it is tantamount to the unforgivable sin.
But all denials aside,
this problem is as plain as the nose on little Johnnie’s face: The birth rate
in these United States of America is imploding.
After several lackluster
years, the rate fell by a record amount in 2017, according to a new report put
out by the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta.
U.S. birth rates declined
last year for women across the board – in their teens, 20s and even in their
30s – leading to the fewest babies being born in 30 years, according to the CDC
report released Thursday, May 17.
Thursday’s report shows
that the birthrate decline that started in 2014 was likely not a blip but the
beginnings of a trend. America the global superpower has entered the clutches
of a demographic death spiral from which it appears unable to pry itself loose.
The CDC report, based on a
review of more than 99 percent of the birth certificates filed nationwide,
counted 3.853 million births last year. That’s the lowest since 1987.
The fertility rate now
stands at 1.7 births per woman. For a generation of Americans to replace itself,
it takes a fertility rate of at least 2.1 children per woman.
The U.S. was, until a few
years ago, among a handful of developed countries that could muster the pivotal
2.1 threshold. That day is apparently gone, with millennials having a stronger
aversion to large families — or even medium-sized families for that matter —
than even the previous generations of baby boomers and gen-Xrs [who were not
exactly prolific themselves].
A decade ago, the
estimated rate was 2.1 children per U.S. woman. In 2017, it fell below 1.8,
hitting its lowest level since 1978. “That’s a pretty remarkable decline,” John
Santelli, a Columbia University professor of population and family health and
pediatrics, told the Associated Press.
In my 2017 book, Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest through
Immigration and Resettlement jihad, I pointed out the critical importance of birthrates to a
nation’s survival. Secular globalists teaching in our schools and universities
have brainwashed students since the 1960s that smaller is better when it comes
to family size. But in the Islamic world, there is no such taboo against having
kids.
A 39-year-old Christian
woman who has worked in Germany’s migrant camps for years told The
Express that
Christians in those camps are harassed and intimidated. They thought she was a
Muslim, so they confided in her.
“Some women told me, ‘We
will multiply our numbers. We must have more children than the Christians
because it’s the only way we can destroy them here.’”
U.S. Muslims have
repeatedly boasted of the same strategy. In 2015, a Muslim mother lashed out in
anger at a school board meeting in Jersey City, New Jersey, when the board
refused to grant students the day off for the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha,
warning that “We’re
going to be the majority soon!”
In the free nations of the
West, a declining population is the norm, and any increases in population are
due strictly to immigration from the Islamic world. A declining birthrate
results in an aging population and leads almost without fail to a nation turning
to mass migration to save its economic soul.
As a nation’s young women
opt for abortion and contraception in place of motherhood, that nation
inevitably falls into a pattern of a slow decline.
If the low-birthrate trend
continues, it becomes increasingly difficult to pay the Social Security
pensions and healthcare needs of the previous “boomer” generations.
To head off the coming
economic implosion, politicians look for a quick fix: Importing foreign
laborers to pay for the mounting pensioners and to do the jobs that were once
done by the indigenous population starts to look increasingly appealing. And
you can count on the Chamber of Commerce to stand over the shoulder of elected
leaders, whispering words of encouragement for them to dive into the foreign
labor pool head first.
The United Nations also
advises low-birthrate countries in the West to “replace” their aging native
populations with Third Worlders [See Replacement
Migration: Is it a Solution to Declining and Aging Populations, UN Archives, 2000]
Just ask the Swedes, the
Brits and the Germans how well that formula has worked out for them.
If we want to know what
our future will look like, just look across the pond: The call to Islamic
prayer rings out over loudspeakers, surging migrant knife attacks, no-go zones,
out-of-control sexual assaults against women and girls, and, finally, the
widespread election of Muslims to public office.
These European nations
started their decline long ago, soon after World War II, leading keen observers
like Ben Wattenberg and Mark Steyn to warn that the U.S. may become the fading
last remnant of a Western civilization based on Christianity, free enterprise,
freedom of speech and religion. [Steyn authored America
Alone in 2006 while Wattenberg predicted back in 1987 a
forthcoming population decline in The Birth Dearth: What Happens
When People in Free Countries Don’t Have Enough Babies?]
I am not sure if a nation
actually loses its will to survive, or if its inhabitants just become more
self-absorbed as they become more educated and wealthy. Self-absorbed people
tend to opt for pets over children. They don’t talk back, they sit and shake
hands on command, and can be counted on to return affection with affection.
Children are far more unpredictable and can be exhausting.
Modern society also lacks
the close extended-family relationships that previous generations counted on to
help raise larger families. Children today are more likely to not even know
their grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, seeing them only infrequently
due to the scattering of families across state lines.
Whatever the causes, we’ve
seen what happens to an aging, declining nation whose leaders decide to delve
headlong into mass migration as their economic panacea. Such a nation
gravitates increasingly toward global governance, loss of sovereignty, and a
multicultural worldview that seeks to punish one’s own culture while promoting
foreign cultures that have no history of appreciation for individual freedom. [News flash:
This means saying adios to the First and Second
Amendments to the U.S. Constitution].
The “politics of guilt and pity,” as the late author
Rousas Rushdoony called it, spells doom for any great power that becomes
addicted to the toxic trifecta of foreign labor, a tax-funded welfare state and
self-doubt bordering on self-hatred.
Germany, Italy, France,
Greece, Sweden, Spain and the UK are all suffering the after-effects of
drinking from this toxic cup. The governments of these countries, faced with
aging populations, all turned to mass migration to fill in the gaps in their
labor forces and temporarily prop up their economies. It’s obvious now that
this was fool’s gold.
Yet, we see American
politicians falling into the same trap — and it’s not only Democrats. Jeb
Bush argued for an increase in legal immigration, already at historically high
levels, in his 2015 book Immigration Wars: Forging an
American Solution, citing declining birthrates as his main
justification.
You can argue whether
mass-migration is the best solution to the birth dearth, but you cannot argue
with the fact that our current economy is based on the concept of perpetual
growth, and perpetual growth requires a steady stream of young workers entering
the work force.
The options are limited:
Either we find a new economic model based on moribund growth, like Japan seems
intent on doing, we continue to increase the number of new immigrants, or we
somehow convince our young women of the blessings of motherhood.
The only way to do the
latter is for men to release their spouses from some of the income-producing
responsibilities. Many families in today’s globalized economy have been
squeezed to the point where they simply cannot survive without both spouses
working full time. Yet, we all know of other families for whom the second
income is a luxury, not a necessity.
According to the Associated Press, experts cited several
factors contributing to a perfect storm of declining U.S. birthrates. Chief
among them is “shifting attitudes about motherhood among women in their 20s and
early 30s.”
Births have been declining
since 2014, but 2017 saw the greatest year-to-year drop – about 92,000 less
than the previous year.
That surprised the
report’s authors, because baby booms often parallel economic booms, and last
year was a period of low unemployment and a growing economy.
The CDC report also found the following
fascinating facts:
·
The rate of births to women ages 15 to 44, known as the general
fertility rate, sank to a record low of about 60 per 1,000.
·
Women in their early 40s were the only group with higher birth
rates in 2017, up 2 percent from the year. The rate has been rising since the
early 1980s.
·
The cesarean section rate rose slightly after having decreased
four years. Studies have shown C-sections are more common in first-time births
involving older moms.
·
Rates of preterm and low birth weight babies rose for the third
straight year, possibly for the same reason.
·
Birth rates for teens continued to nosedive, as they have since
the early 1990s. In 2017, they dropped 7 percent from the year before.
·
Birth rates for women in their 20s continued to fall and hit
record lows. They fell 4 percent.
·
Perhaps most surprising, birth rates for women in their 30s also
fell, dipping 2 percent for women ages 30 to 34 and 1 percent for women 35 to
39.

This is not a sustainable solution to the problem. If the human population weren't overcrowded, young people would be having babies, whatever older people told them.
ReplyDeleteBetter solutions? Market family planning to immigrants--they want a better life too, and having more babies just is not the way to have one. Market the one-child lifestyle to *all* young people as the only way to have any chance of enjoying a middle-class life--which, for all but the adult-children of rich indulgent parents, it is. Then make sure those one children are brought up, if not as Christians, at least as Humanists who will demand that Islamic teaching be watered down to the same level Christian teaching has been.
We need population growth to slow down, across the board, so that everyone *can* get a job and feed their, er um, *child*. In the absence of the plague further overpopulation is likely to generate, nobody should think in terms of personal responsibility for "children"!
