The United States Birth Rate Finally Falls Below 1.6!

The United States Birth Rate Finally Falls Below 1.6!

For a long time, birth rates in the United States have been far too high. While Europe and Asia’s birth rates were dropping rapidly, with birth rates like 1.3 in Germany, 1.1 in Italy, 1.2 in Japan, and 0.78 in South Korea, the birth rates in the United states had remained above 1.6. Now, data released in 2024 shows that they have finally dropped below 1.6!

Why has this shift taken so long in the United States? Unfortunately, because of high religiosity and conservatism. The propaganda myths of the suburban home and large family have remained rooted in American culture, with women facing constant patriarchal coercion to give birth. But as women learn and become educated, even the strongest of patriarchal systems begin to lose their grasp.

The Trump administration thought that they could coerce women into becoming breeding stock by rolling back women’s rights and appealing to ultra-nationalism and religious fundamentalism. Although they may have legally restricted women, the reality is that they have unleashed women’s awareness on a national level. The more men try to restrict women, the less women will give birth. Even previously conservative women are now opting out as they see the dangers of giving birth in this society.

Women in Poland showed their patriarchal government: if their rights are taken away, they will give that government no children. Now, women are rising up in the United States and claiming back their freedom. For every women that the Trump administration forcefully inseminates, 100,000 more women will give up on the idea of birth entirely.

The birth rate falling below 1.6 in United States means that no amount of patriarchal control can stop us. We can and will get our numbers as low as Europe’s. We will go as low as South Korea’s. And even then, it won’t be low enough, we will keep going.

Some demographers have noticed a positive trend. When birth rates drop, they almost never return to previous levels. There may be small ticks upward occasionally, but the general trend is always downwards. What does this mean? Even when we reclaim abortion rights in the United States, we will still never give birth to children. 4B isn’t just a trend to follow when conservatives have power. We’re not here to follow it until our chosen political candidate wins an election. When we choose to stop giving birth, we choose to stop giving birth permanently.

And us abstaining from giving birth as individuals isn’t enough. We will convince other women to stop giving birth too. We will also address the ridiculous propaganda that the birth rates are too low. The birth rates are not too low, they are too high. We don’t care what men think about the economy or demographic collapse. Our bodies aren’t here to solve their problems. Therefore, we have only one goal with the birth rate. What is that final goal? Zero. ♀
