CNN:

The report, published Wednesday, showed that birth rates declined for nearly all age groups of women younger than 35 but rose for women in their late 30s and early 40s.

From 2017 to 2018, the birth rate dropped 7% among teenagers aged 15 to 19; 4% among women 20 to 24; 3% among women 25 to 29; and 1% among women 30 to 34, according to the report.

The birth rate rose 1% among women aged 35 to 39 and 2% among women 40 to 44. The rate for women 45 to 49, which also includes births to women 50 and older, did not change from 2017 to 2018.

On the other hand, there have been recent studies that indicate children born to older women enjoy better long term academic and professional success.

    You have to admit, there aren't many natives left to HAVE kids, what with the waves of violent, resource-hungry immigrants and everything. You would think there would be some kind of laws passed against that sort of thing, but invaders gonna invade.

    They should all just fuck off back to Europe!

    (That didn't go where you were hoping it would, did it?)

      I think it was directed against people of alleged European Ancestry, like David Duke, the Duck call magnate. America, Love it, or Give it Back!

    The population of American Indians is 5.2 million. It's not much relative to the total US population, but then the population of American Jews is 5.7 million. American Muslims number 3.45 million.

    Are numbers the measure of a population's vigor?
