In This Issue: New data regarding American fertility may hold a silver lining to the “birth dearth” that the nation is experiencing. As we have highlighted previously, the U.S. fertility rate is below replacement and, in general, continues to trend downward. However, data from 2022 suggests that while Americans are having fewer babies, the babies that are being born are more likely to be born to married parents.

In This Issue: On March 26th, the Supreme Court began hearing oral arguments for the case that will decide the future of the abortion pill. Since the pandemic, the FDA has loosened restrictions on the abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol. According to one expert, “The telehealth policy, which the FDA temporarily implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic before making it permanent, is really ‘what opened the gate’ to the drug’s broader use.” This has directly contributed to the uptick in abortions. Last year, the total number of abortions in the U.S. surpassed 1 million for the first time in over a decade.

In This Issue: In this argument for her audience to have more children, Leah Libresco Sargeant breaks down why increasing your family size is a good thing. The issue goes beyond economics. In Sargeant’s words, saying no to children is a no to hope, need, particularity, and something better than our plans. Her compelling speech describes how children are not just society’s future, but each individual’s connection to the future. Parents are truly lucky to be needed by their children; to love and be loved in return by their children. Children pull parents out of selfishness and give them the opportunity for personal growth. Further, children require parents to grow in magnanimity–greatness of soul. Children may challenge you and change you, but in that, they are blessings, not burdens.

In This Issue: The news is getting out that the world is heading towards a “demographic train wreck.” Many of the countries experiencing low fertility rates are experimenting with different approaches to try to motivate couples to have children. However, there’s one approach governments aren’t trying: An appeal to faith. Governments discount the importance of faith, but around the world, religious groups (Catholics, Orthodox Jews, Mormons, etc.) are the ones embracing large families. As The Washington Times points out, “In an anti-natalist culture, procreation is an act of faith.”

In This Issue: Last Friday, Elon Musk posted a short, honest comment about the side effects of hormonal birth control on X. Musk’s post read, “Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide. This is the clear scientific consensus, but very few people seem to know it.” This post caused a wave of responses from women who shared their negative experiences with birth control.

In This Issue: Roughly 1 percent of the U.S. population is made up of young “elites.” This group is defined as those who have at least one postgraduate degree, earn more than $150,000 a year, and live in or near cities. These elites share a worldview so radically different from the average American that PRI President Steven Mosher claimed, “They inhabit an alternate reality — an alternate reality dominated by fear and loathing.”
