Better Idea, let's fix the economy so people can afford to have Babies.
Or fix the world so we want to have Babies.
Or lower the price of housing so we have a place to put babies.
Or open forced breeding camps, shanty towns and and slave labor...oh wait.

One of those are more likely than the others. It's the last one.
And you just know the people coming out of those labour factories will all share a visibly distinct attribute - or tint, god help me for saying that - that makes them recognizable as low-caste now as it did in the 1800s.
I hate fearing that is right around the corner. Again, fuck.

I'm gonna fucking laugh if it leads to a revolution due to the slaves being the only people actively reproducing
-
What do you think all of this immigrant shit is about. They want white babies.

Mmm yes, Borrasca.

Look at the historic birth rate in countries where where these things aren't an issue and you'll realize that unless you walk back on women rights and access to contraception, people won't have enough babies to renew the population because they simple don't want to have enough of them to do so.
-
There might be other factors at play. Deciding to have a child is a complex decision. But not having those things mentioned just makes the problem worse.
Also, speaking of historical facts. Even outlawing abortion and such doesn't stop it. They travel or use risky methods. Or they put the kid up for adoption which leads to a massive spike in crime. Which is why roughly 18 years after Roe v Wade there was a drop in crime.
-
As I said, it's just historical stats from a bunch of different countries that all show the same thing.
Both my sisters in law have three kids and get about $1.6k in financial help, super cheap childcare and free healthcare, they're still in the minority of people who have 3 kids in Canada and most of the decline happened just as the pill was made legal and women started having rights and didn't depend on their husband to, for example, open a bank account and at a time when buying a house wasn't an issue.
Look at migrants from African countries, childbirth over there is super high, they move to a rich country and they don't have as many kids as the average in their country of origin even though living conditions are better.
Women rights. Contraception.
-
You call out all the reasons they should have a kid, like free healthcare. But ignore all the reasons why people don't want to have kids.
You also ignore all the reasons why someone in a 3rd world country might have more kids. Like mortality rate, needing more hands for work, etc.
Yes contraception and reproductive rights are part of it. But acting like those are the only things it's naive.
