I don't think our birth rate has gone down, because of less people getting pregnant necessarilly, but it went down due to an increase in abortions and loss of the baby. Also, the 70's was when oral contraceptives were introduced. This is great considering the immigration into this country and the increase in population size. This is not an excuse to go out and have a kid, though. Even though we need to bridge the gap, we need people who can raise a child properly and monetarily.
