Would the declining fertility rates in America have any connection to the possibility of Roe v. Wade being overturned?

::Sigh::

BIRTH rates are falling in all developed countries. Nearly all are below replacement level (2.1 children per couple) Some are a low as 1.6. Outside the Arab Middle East and Africa, World population is in a dangerous decline.

OBvoiusly that has nothing to do with abortion.

Likewise, fertility appears to have been declining, especially in men. Again, that’s a global thing. there are various theories, including the idea that estrogen is used in many treatments for women, and is getting into the environment. Some other species are losing fecundity, in particular amphibians, where male features are not developing properly. The cause isn’t known, but obviously there is something environmental going on, and it may also be impacting humans.

And lack of sexual interest by men appears to be spreading. It’s a formal movement in Japan, where a whole class of men have said “fuck this shit” about finding a mate, and are just going on without one. Similar things are happening elsewhere.

Put all those things together, and you have a very bad situation for the continuance of our species.

And not a single bit of it has anything to do with abortion, American, roe v. Wade, or any other political trend.
