U.S. bucking worldwide trend and having more babies
January 15th, 2008
You’d think that was great news, considering the hand-wringing that other first-world countries are going through at their declining birth-rates. However, in this CNN report, we see just how cynical and downright weird the world-view of some “experts” is!
For example, how’s this for a gem of condescension:
“Experts believe there is a mix of reasons: a decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty.”
As to whether or not this is a trend or a short-term blip:
“‘We have to wait and see. For now, I would call it a noticeable blip,’ said Brady Hamilton, a statistician with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “
So pregnancy is a disease? Why is this being tracked by the CDC?
