... Gallup started tracking this data in 1936 and found then that 64 % of Americans wanted at least three children. The preference for three children peaked at 77 % in 1945.
While preferences for family size do not significantly differ between genders, demographic factors change everything. Most groups, from young adults aged 18-29, blacks and Hispanics to Republicans, conservative independents and lower-income earners prefer more children. Democrats, non-religious individuals and the wealthy want fewer children, one or two at most. ...
That's a reasonably healthy sign.

Don't forget the "vackz"
Not to mention the fact Marriage rates are in the shitter and Divorce is high.
Also not mentioning that a lot of the attempts at messaging of outreach groups trying to promote families and marriage. Fall surprisingly flat with the audience they’re intended for. Which is usually Young Men.
The Guy who may have seen Dad and or a Brother or two get put through the wringer in Divorce Court. Is going to take different messaging to get him to play that proverbial game of Russian Roulette. A personal desire for children or not.
In comparison to say. The Good Little Christian Boy whose parents remained happily married.
