It's because no woman wants to bring a child into this violent and depraved country. Who would? It's getting worse by the day. And the economy is only part of it. It's educational ops pretty well gone and people like republicans who want to defund everything. And maybe, but pretty sure, there's the Deadbeat Dad Syndrome which no man will acknowledge, much less study. It is extremely hard to raise a child alone. I happen to know this one firsthand.
