the problem is the liberal women have mental issues that warp their view of men and the world. Fix that and problem solved. The more liberal the bigger the problem.
1. hundreds of closed hospitals, and shut down OB/GYN services are DECREASING fertility! where I live in rural Virginia young families have said that they are 'not having the next child' because hospital delivery is too far away.
2. disease is impairing and killing babies and children. infant mortality - of unborn and born babies - is high. where I live in rural Virginia a dramatically rising/expanding measles outbreak is sickening many children, and will sicken more. As I walk through our local cemetery it is impossible to miss the very many graves of infants from across the generations. And it does not take many conversations to discover that high proportion of medically-challenged children without local specialty care, when even the local rural hospital is at risk.
3. for 3-4 decades opportunities for individual and family health, stability and prosperity have fled, with 'globalization', 'financialization', and neglecting rural places as 'sacrifice zones'. Trump1 and Trump2 so-called 'golden age' of great new jobs and opportunities lies.
Conservatives' claims to adore precious unborn infants, to uphold 'family values', and to respect 'workers' are obvious deceptive slogans: babies are dying without care, families are being torn apart with lack of support and opportunities, and good jobs to happily and well support a big family are gone.
If Conservatives admire and want higher fertility: PROVE it with excellent health care, thriving economies, and fabulous opportunities for families in rural America.
Meh. Birthrates are falling worldwide. Too many factors beyond political views. Most people in the US pay no attention to politics or liberal/conservative leanings.
Young liberal women are essentially married to the government. The government provides the financial stability that previously was provided by marriage. It will be interesting to see what happens if that stability disappears. It could be by ideology if conservatives control government but in the end, the unsustainable debt will finish it off.
When there is a Republican "trifecta", they borrow and spend worse than any liberal. It's only when Democrats have power that Republicans pretend to be fiscally responsible. Trump doesn't even do that.
Virtually all of the fertility gap can be explained by LGTBQ+ people being overwhelmingly liberal. Exclude LGTBQ+ people from the analysis and the gap disappears.
Excellent article. But you have left out any mention of a major factor - the feminist extreme movement that denigrated men and family, glorified the "it-is-all-about-me" attitude where bearing children may take away the fun and potential career prospects of young women and promoted, with the help of a fawning media, the notion that accountability to a societal good does not exist.

Government by business deters procreation. We need to revisit being a republic.

I hardly think blaming and shaming women will advance fertility. See my comments above about structural impediments to fertility in rural places.
