'Remarkable' decline in fertility rates

There has been a remarkable global decline in the number of children women are having, say researchers.

Their report found fertility rate falls meant nearly half of countries were now facing a "baby bust" - meaning there are insufficient children to maintain their population size.

The researchers said the findings were a "huge surprise".

And there would be profound consequences for societies with "more grandparents than grandchildren".

    Let's not forget that having "Men" and "Right" right next to each other gets you banded together

    Don't you just hate it when that happens? I mean, you form some nice movement complaining about women, Muslin, and minorities, and they call you some kind of "Men's Rights Assholenation." It's not right that straight, white, Christian males should be judged by what they think and say. The world is just too cruel! This is why I am starting a new movement, based on information from Q-Anon and Gab: The Alt-male Alt-right All-white Movement, the AAAM, or just "AA Ma'am", for short, and for if your mom wants to know what meeting you are going to.
