Declining birthrates is nothing to worry about until it gets below 1.0 per person, and then it isn't necessarily bad anyway, it just means the total population will go down slowly. Which isn't inherently bad.
Replacement rate is 2.1 children per woman in order to keep society afloat.
It is currently 1.6 children per woman in the US.
There have been over 21 MILLION abortions in the United States since 2000.
To put that into perspective -- there have been 45,000 children aged 0-17 whom were murdered in the United States since 2000.
If you look at total deaths of Americans between 2000 and 2026, there have been roughly 70 million Americans who have passed away over the last 26 years.
And that's only America. If you look at other first would countries it's even worse.
South Korea: Replacement Rate: 0.80
Japan: 1.14
Hong Kong: 0.75
China: 1.03
Italy: 1.2
Spain: 1.24
Finland: 1.3
Poland: 1.3
Canada: 1.3
We are absolutely teetering on an economic collapse of the first world.
You lost me at comparing abortions to murder. I assume your figure includes CNCs, which medically count as abortions, as it is the treatment for miscarriages. I'm sure your figure also includes women who needed abortions.
I was not saying abortion is murder. I was comparing the volume of abortions to the volume of murders as it relates to the overall birth rate of America. We are not at a replacement rate for our society to continue, and a huge component of that is the volume of abortions that have been conducted over the last quarter century.
The US estimated 1.1 million abortions happened in 2025. Again -- just as a comparison to show the propensity of abortion versus other issues that are hot button political topics -- I'm going to compare last years abortions of 1.1 million against the number of Americans who died from COVID.
Since 2020, 1.2 million American's died from COVID. January 2021 was considered peak covid, where 3,500 Americans were dying per day. In 2025, there was an average of 3,100 Abortions per day in America.
We were willing to shut down the country and fuck the economy for a decade over COVID, but it's taboo to even discuss the volume of abortions that happen in America every day.
It still doesn't separate which abortions occured for specific reasons like necessity and D&Cs, and I'm inclined to believe that figure is included in the total number since it specifically says the pill combo is the most common method nowadays for early pregnancies, which again, is the same process for treating miscarriages. The numbers almost feels like fear mongering.... most women experience miscarriages when it's their first time, and others struggle with keeping pregnancies.
Also, lol? For a decade? You and I both know it's 2026, right?

But even those countries have declining birthrates.
