Who Really Wants to Have Kids?

The cover of Time Magazine from August 12, 2013 says, THE CHILDFREE LIFE...When having it all means not having children.

God says to "be fruitful and multiply."  We are told that children are a blessing again and again....so why are Americans choosing NOT to have children? 

The birthrate in the U.S. is the lowest in recorded American history.  From 2007 to 2011, the most recent year for which there's data, the fertility rate declined 9%. A 2010 Pew Research report showed that childlessness has risen across all racial and ethnic groups, adding up to about 1 in 5 American women who end their childbearing years maternity-free, compared with 1 in 10 in the 1970s.

The decision to have a child or not is a private one, but it takes place, in America, in a culture that often equates womanhood with motherhood. Any national discussion about the struggle to reconcile womanhood with modernity tends to begin and end with one subject: parenting. If you're a woman who's not in the mommy trenches, more often than not you're excluded from the discussion. But being sidelined doesn't exempt childless women from being scolded. The Weekly Standard's Jonathan V. Last has made the case in his controversial book What to Expect When No One's Expecting that the selfishness of the childless American endangers our economic future by reducing the number of consumers and taxpayers. With fertility treatment widely available, not to mention adoption, even clinically infertile women have more options than ever to become mothers, which increases the possibility that any woman who doesn't will be judged for her choice.

Even so, women who choose not to become mothers are finding new paths of acceptance. As their ranks rise, so do positive attitudes about leading a life in which having it all doesn't mean having a baby.

Ohhh!!  Now I get it!!!  Because Americans want to HAVE IT ALL....and that can be better accomplished by NOT having kids!

Of course the picture on the cover is of a young couple laying on the beach, all smiles...because, of course, they have no kids.

How sad!!  I am convinced that one way the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to be spread is by God-fearing mothers and fathers raising Godly children who will go forth and evangelize all those around them....but now Western society would much rather lay on a beach and spend money on themselves rather than to be "bothered" with raising some snot-nosed, expensive brats.

So please don't be surprised that Western, white people are becoming extinct.  We aren't even replacing ourselves anymore!!

But you know who IS having lots of kids??

Yep....Muslims.

Now open your calculator and figure out what comes next if the Lord tarries.....
