Pro-life video of the day: Where have all the babies gone?
by Hans Johnson
Population demographics have been a concern in Europe and Japan for decades. But now the U.S. is seeing declining birthrates as well.
From the Contra Costa Times:
The number of California babies born each year began dropping steadily in 2007, according to state public health records, but the birthrate began slowing years before.
While experts point to factors such as more widespread use of contraception, delayed marriage, and economic volatility, one can’t help but wonder if they’re missing the elephant in the room. Or, rather, that they’re ignoring the 55 million missing children that have been aborted in the last 40 years.

Looks like we need to work on how society perceives the “raising” of children. Do you think Obama will help out on this issue? It does appear to be a non-political issue, an issue that pro-choice and pro-life people could theoretically agree on.
The only complainers may be the global warming/population control crowd.
I disagree…it’s mostly an economic issue. The trend is pretty consistent globally, including in the third world - as women’s wages and salaries increase, birth rates go down.
As women increase their earning potential (mostly by going to college), they are suddenly giving up more if they enter into motherhood early in their adult lives. Many women trying to rise within a company or receive promotions will be at a disadvantage if they leave the labor force early on in their careers.
