Among the many reasons mom-parents said they didn’t want children — including medical and financial reasons, climate change, the state of the world and other factors — the majority (56%) “just don’t want to have children.”


The majority just do not want to have kids.

The U.S. birthrate has been steadily declining for decades and fell to an all time low of 1.6 children per woman as women marry and have children later in life.

https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/22/...er-50-say-theyre-likely-not-having-kids-poll/

A decline in birthrate either forces the government to promote marriage and for families to have children like they did in Germany a few years ago or it depends on immigration.

Immigration can sustain the workforce but without proper assimilation you may be replacing the population with people who do not carry the same ideals that your country once had.

This is a global problem as many countries struggle to rise above the death rate. While massive agenda in eugenics, abortion, and climate change activists wish to severely decrease the amount of people on Earth.

Kids are a huge financial responsibility so I can see why some people would choose not to have any kids

Considering that a parent is subject to arrest if they discipline their children, have absolutely no say in what the school system teaches, and constant erosion of the value of money to support them, it should come as no surprise that people do not want to have children.

According to the poll that is not the majority of the reason. 56% simply do not want kids. Finances are difficult but in America you receive child tax credit that add up to $2000 per child, food stamps, WICK, organizations that give free school supplies, free school lunches, etc. Basically, if someone wants a child or two, it really becomes how bad do they want it.

Those reasons may be hard issues but all of us current parents are surviving with multiple children. Some parents homeschool, some choose private or charter, some get state or government assistance with childcare, some go back to school for better paying jobs, some work two jobs, others get creative and make money other ways like Youtube, home crafts, cooking, etc. Basically we are not like some of these 3rd world countries where basic needs are almost impossible to get.

Only "nearly half?" I'm sure that the majority of them are socialist liberals, so I would feel MUCH BETTER if 90% of them did not have children.

10% having kids is ok because we need to have a few around to remember just how useless socialist liberals really are........
