The pace of babies born each year in the U.S. has slowed to a new record low, according to an analysis of 2023 birth certificate data published Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Last year's slowdown marks an official end to the uptick in new babies that began during the COVID-19 pandemic. At least 3,591,328 babies were born in the U.S. in 2023, down 2% from the 3,667,758 born in 2022.
This is on par with annual declines seen before the pandemic, the report said, which averaged around 2% fewer babies each year.
Why are they so stumped on why the birth rate is low? It's not that hard to figure out. Inflation is out of control, the job market is horrible no matter what the news say, Roe v Wade was overturned leaving the decision on abortion to the states, women's reproductive rights are being taken away, and men are following red pill manosphere garbage.
No paid maternity leave either & affordable healthcare. Just dog shit country to have kids in.
Keep up the good work ladies! No extra men are needed on this planet.
Good.
There's too many people, and even enslaving literally every other species on the planet isn't enough to feed us.
Thank goodness.
The world does not need more people. Let's hope this trend continues.
