It was never about stopping abortion. It’s about keeping people in poverty and creating a cycle of uneducated voters that either don’t vote or vote Republican because they don’t know better

Don't worry, Republicans will solve this by banning abortion and birth control nationwide!
They are always thinking of the children.
And legalizing marriage to minors. And outlawing comprehensive sexual education.
A few Republicans also rape and traffic minors just to show how dedicated they are to countering the declining birth rate!
Pizzagate was projection.
Uh, yeah, about that. Republicans need to stop thinking so much about children, mmkay?
TIL that America's birth rates have been traditionally driven by teen pregnancies. Nobody tell Tallarico, but ooof.wav
"Driven" suggest more than half of total pregnancies, which is not true looking at the graph given above. It was solidly ~~third~~fourth* in terms of totals, which is still unsettling, but not as pronounced as your comment suggests.
*I overlooked 25-29
Who told you that drivers have to be 51%?
That's not what a driver is. Driver is a general term, ten pregnancies are a driver of total birth rate, as they have impacted total fertility significantly.
please stop having babies ffs
I think it's fine to have kids if you want them but the government trying to get people to have more kids for economic reasons is sickening
Not to call out OP, but does anyone have this information in anything other than .png format? There's no timestamps, hyperlinks, or citations anywhere here. I'd love to send this to other people, but I'm not about to copy-pasta something that could be old or inaccurate.
