I appreciate the historical perspective that this post offers, but I which it offered some other possibilities for what has been driving the falling birth rate. I’m no expert, but some factors I’ve heard cited include: increasing education among women, shifts in employment among women and men, and falling fertility in men (which may be the real ticking time bomb here). Most likely, availability of birth control is a contributing factor along with all of these and more.

A poster above seems to want to see feminists undermined. But if rising education and employment among women leads to falling birth rates, the feminists he wants to undermine are not those of the present, but those of 75 or more years ago. Does anyone really want to go back to a society that so completely oppresses women?
