1. 15?

[wcmagumba]

2. WTAF is wrong with these people?

Effing RWNJs, we needs more babies and we needs them now...Jeez...

[RandySF]

4. They want workers

to help billionaires afford more yachts.

[patphil]

5. American born, poor workers, who'll take the jobs left open by throwing out millions of undocumented immigrants.

[dickthegrouch]

24. To do what? At what tiny wages?

None of those poor babies are going to get decent jobs, Abundant Iniquity is going to take most of them.
Anything left as pickings, even for new grads, is going to pay peanuts.
Barely enough even to tax, far less live on, independently.

21. More Christian soldiers vs. useless eaters

Eh, let them fight it out for the amusement of Epstein class.

[leftstreet]

3. Nothing says statutory rape like Fox News

[3catwoman3]

6. The birth rate for 15-18 year olds should be ZERO, in my professional opinion.

[MineralMan]

7. No Shortage of Middle-Aged GOOPers

willing and eager to knock up those 15-18 year old girls, too. Just line 'em up and pass out little blue pills.

[ColoringFool]

11. Especially If The Teen Girls Are School-Board "HOT." 🤨🧐

[underpants]

18. Handmaids

[ProfessorGAC]

8. How 18th Century Of Them

Ages 15-19?
In the industrial age, when was it ever wise for 15 year olds to have a kid of their own?
And in the last 75 years, what percentage of 15-19 year olds were having kids anyway.

25. Peaked post WWII. Notice the drop starting early 70's - Roe I'm guessing

28. Probably So

But, even around WW2, I doubt many people were encouraging 16 year olds to make babies.
Even when I was a kid in the 60s, there were special "schools" where pregnant teens went away for a while because teen pregnancy was taboo.
That was 60 years ago and these fools are thinking it's a good idea now?

[underpants]

33. I really think this is a watered down Great Replacement/Bro culture thing

Christian soldiers and voters for the former.

Subjugation of women for the latter.
Andrew Tate - Dave Portnoy (Barstool Sports)/Rogan - Tucker/Sen. Hawley 🙄 - presentable on Fox News. I might’ve skipped a few layers there.

Side note on the “schools” you mentioned. Hillary’s parents got pregnant I think on prom night. Never wanted her and made no secret of it. Once she could handle a fork/spoon she was on her own. No birthday parties or presents. None. Not sure about Christmas gifts.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. That Sure Could Be The Case

Back when I first got XM, I listened to Barstool for a while.
That didn't last long.
A gaggle of sexist buffoons.

[regnaD kciN]

34. I'm guessing that the peak after WWII...

…was centered on 18-19 year olds marrying right after high school and having babies right away, rather than much in the 15-17 range. Furthermore, the lower levels before that were probably due in part to many males of that age being in the military overseas.

[DBoon]

30. We should be celebrating this drop!

Teens are recognizing the effect early pregnancy will have on their future life and are planning for their futures.

Among those teens who have had sex, the majority (81% of females and 84% of males) used a contraceptive method the first time they had sex.

From the Pew research report

32. Societies are better off when age of first bith is over 19

[ColoringFool]

9. 🎶 "'P, E, D, O, P, H, I-L-E' Spells 'PEDOPHILE'!" 🎶

[Renew Deal]

10. Not enough 14 year olds getting pregnant for the Republican Party.

[ColoringFool]

12. Not That It Matters Substantially, But He Said "15...," not 14......

What he said stands as sufficiently reprehensible.

[lastlib]

14. For a 15-y/o girl to have a baby.....

she would almost have to get pregnant at 14. (just the right age for repuglykans... )

[GoCubsGo]

29. It's the same Republican Party who, up until now, vilified teenage girls

for getting pregnant. Go figure. No doubt they will continue to shit on the ones of color. White teens only--which is what this is really all about. Trying to stave of white people becoming a minority...

[regnaD kciN]

35. They probably still do...

…it’s just that, while they consider the girl to be a “slut,” they celebrate the guy who knocked her up as a “red-blooded American alpha male.”

[travelingthrulife]

13. And competition for jobs will be fierce.

[tanyev]

15. They don't want teens to have sex before they get married.

They don’t want teen mothers to have high schools that provide childcare.

They’d have a fit if high-schoolers got married and kept going to high school, flaunting their sex-filled married lives to their classmates.

They really don’t want to provide government assistance to teen parents who don’t yet have a diploma, a degree or training that will allow them to find work that can support a family.

They are so full of shit.

[haele]

17. They want other people's teen girls to get married and quit high school.

Their precious little princesses are going to be virgins, who graduate High School and go to college to meet eligible young men with prospects, allowing them to apply for the socially acceptable MRS degree...


On edit - After all, who cares about the poors or any of the other non-GOP in groupers? They're just annoyances or at best tools and their kids are nothing but fungible breeding stock.

[tanyev]

23. Yes, and the most likely scenario that occurred to me after my first post was that they are envisaging older men

marrying girls in that 15-19 age range. Man in his 30s gets a compliant young wife to pop out babies, cook and clean. Works great (for him) until he decides he wants a younger model and now the first wife has no education or job skills, 3 kids to take care of and an ex-husband who may or may not pay his child support.

[Jacson6]

16. Then when they have no means of financially caring for themselves the R's call them welfare queens?

[underpants]

20. I don't think they've thought that out

[RandomNumbers]

19. Just ... wow. What a world.

[Iggo]

22. Let me fix that.

“White teenagers aren’t having enough babies. And not any old white teenagers. Not the daughters of the Epstein class. We’re talking about the daughters of the poorest of the red hat maga faithful.”

There.
Fixed.

[-misanthroptimist]

26. It's right in their nickname: G.O.P.

Gang

Pedophiles

[NoMoreRepugs]

27. UnF'enBelievable!

[magicarpet]

31. My neighbor's 10 year old daughter is already a grandmother,...

... I'll bet Fux Nuz would find that just dandy & jolly & the act of a good American family trying to procreate to make our nation strong.

Provided all parties involved are White.

[Aristus]

36. These assholes live in mortal terror of a labor deficit.

As long as there is a labor surplus, more people than jobs, employers can keep wages and benefits low, and fire anyone who complains. They can easily fill the job opening with someone currently unemployed.

As the birth rate goes down, the more likely it is that there will be a labor deficit, more jobs than people to do them. Employers have to hike wages and increase benefit packages in order to attract qualified people to do jobs they can afford to be more choosy about taking.

[underpants]

38. 💯 + Christian soldiers and Great Replacement

[Iggo]

40. A non-white plurality America is certainly coming.

What terrifies the white supremacists is the thought of being a minority and being treated as poorly as they treated minorities.

[multigraincracker]

37. This planet can only support 1/3 of

its current population. Big problem in reducing the numbers in an orderly fashion.
We are seeing the effect of overpopulation with the new weather patterns that will only get worse.
We are screwed. Glad I will only have to see about 8-10 more years of it.

[lame54]

41. When girls turn 15...

They'll sign up for the baby draft
If they call your number the govt will impregnate you
