See my above reply to u/queue-anon

It helps if you see it through the lens that this battle we are facing is as old as time.

1. A twisting/nullification of scripture to ban polygyny. (No BIG families, Fewer children)
2. War on the nuclear family. (Fewer children, broken homes)
3. War on men. Feminist movement. All women expected to join the workforce. (Higher divorce rate, Fewer children)
4. Abortion push. (Fewer children)
5. Economic turmoil. (Delay, Fewer children)
6. 50/50 $plit no-fault divorce asset theft. (Incentivize divorce for women, financial ruin for men, ...You guessed it: Fewer children)

Starting to see a trend?

See it for what it is.
