Just about everyone has heard of the lack of babies being born problem that is sweeping the world, as more and more young women choose not to have children in order to pursue their careers or to postpone having children until later in life.
There are some viable solutions to the fertility crisis.
As an example; a stronger patriarchy and Christian values lead to more fertility.
But the Left dismisses this as dystopian. Aren’t they the ones who created the welfare system that got millions of single women having babies one after the other to increase their amount of welfare payments? They destroyed communities, and now the government wants to pay women to have babies again.
What is their plan of action?
Consider Philadelphia, where the government pays women to bear children.

Dr. Stacey Kallem, director of the Division of Maternal, Child, and Family Health at the Philadelphia Department of Public Health, stated: ‘The no-strings-attached’ is crucial:
We are respecting the dignity and autonomy of program participants to use the funds as they see fit to improve their health and the health of their babies.
On the other hand, the mothers were unable to spend the money on improving their health.
Aside from that, even assuming the best-case scenario, if we do the math, the program would only produce 250 babies, which isn’t going to fix much.
And it’s only available in three regions of the city, chosen on the basis of race for equity’s sake.
That could work, I suppose. Several studies from the 1970s to the 1990s found that welfare encouraged single parenting, particularly along racial lines. A brief stroll through any inner city will demonstrate how well that initiative worked!
Yet, if you are not the correct race for the program and do not have the financial wherewithal to sue the city of Philadelphia for discrimination, there are always virtual offspring in the metaverse.
