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.

    For goodness sake, the story came from CNN and their source was a report from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). It was a straight-up story about demographics, which affects everyone on many levels.

    It was a factual piece full of hard data of the kind we all keep saying we want to see more of, instead of stupid political spin.

    If people have imparted one cast or another to that, it's on them, not on the story, not on the submitter (me), and not on the site editors.

    The Left has decided this topic is forbidden to discuss.
    Why? Because it's a real issue affecting people's lives.
    Only foolish things that don't really affect people can be discussed. Those must be pushed hardest of all. (Example: trans bathroom rights.)

      Nah it is just people being reactionary with good reason. There are enough real racists around here that we get dog-whistling bullshit stories that are used as a springboard for spewing racist propaganda.

      By your use of "The Left has decided this topic is forbidden to discuss." I take it you're one of said assholes. *golf clap* gj buddy you really nailed the deep state!

        Just commenting that assholes such as you downmod comments on this site as Troll that talk about the issue in this article.
        Unless you comment that it is "no problem" or that white Americans deserve it; then your comment gets upmodded.
