I used to donate and wished I could have a bumper sticker, but they are on a hiatus. Last I heard the founder said the hatred recieved due to the organization was taking a toll. Anyone know anything? These folks planning to actually come back?

Not sure, but the birthrate has already fallen to 1.6 children per woman in the US, well below the required rate for a population of people to sustain itself(2.1). The US has hovered around the 2.1 replacement rate for a while but plunged below it since around the great recession. However, the US always has enjoyed a benefit other industrialized nations have not which allowed it to not have a shrinking population--robust immigration. As the US has currently done everything possible to make itself a destination that not only expels current visitors, makes becoming a citizen more difficult, and makes itself unattractive to potential immigrants, it is quickly falling into commonality with nations who have a demographic crisis(Japan, Italy, and many others) with the large aging post-war generation being unsupportable.

That's a long way to say, maybe the site isn't online anymore because they no longer have to advocate for something that has been realized/accomplished?

    The problem is that while the country is reproducing less as a whole, the evangelicals and MAGA keep kicking them out like a clown car.

    It was prophetic. People I know who have had kids recently are the dumbest people I know. Only an idiot has done that intentionally in the past two years for sure.

    Who in their right mind is a grown adult, looks at the news , not only in the usa but also internationally, and is like:

    "Hmmm....now is the PERFECT time to bring in anither poor soul to get blown up by north americans/europeans mercenaries, live in eternal homeless poverty, suffer from a trillion and one mental health disorders due to INSAAANE levels of loneliness and rugged individualism, face the fascistic genocides of equitoreal peoples that are coming because of climate change." ?
