  • The more women have equal rights the lower the birthrate

    The more accessible contraception is the lower the birthrate

    The more educated people are the lower the birthrate

    The more accessible abortion is the lower the birthrate

    See a pattern here between that and conservative policies? People, no matter where they are on the political spectrum, who talk about the need to increase birthrate need to realize that these things are what they’re wishing to see being gone. No matter how easy you make it to have babies, people don’t want enough of them if they have access to education and preventive measures, social democracies with very wide safety nets and social programs and long parental leaves don’t have a birthrate any higher than the one in the USA (in fact, in some cases it’s some of the lowest in the whole world!).
