Again for people (racists), complaining about falling birth rates:
The birth rate for women over 40 is not falling. The birth rate for women over 30 is not falling.
What's happening, is girls 15 to 17 are having fewer babies. Kids are having fewer kids.
Also, this is an interesting way of saying that "Teen pregnancy is down, due to sex education and contraception."
In 1991 25% of 15 year olds gave birth before they turned 21. That's bad. Now it's 6%. That's better.

Y'all are literally complaining that not enough white children aged 15 to 17 are getting pregnant. Do you even hear yourselves? You know y'all are saying this out loud right? And that other people can hear you? I'm running out of ways to tell you that this is a good thing. I don't know how much you know about anatomy or biology, or how long 9 months is... but the things required for a 15 year old to give birth, are not good. Less of that is a good thing.
