Are there any bright feminists out there who have a plan to get Australia's birth rate back to atleast replacement levels?

I ask feminists because they encouraged all women to put off having children, and thus, they own this issue.

Truthy.... actually today I heard an interesting report.

Women who thought they could hold full on career AND have a family.... were reporting that it doesn't work that well.
I don't know what percentage of women reported this.

Reason: They didn't realize how much they wanted to be with their little ones. So..they are now encouraging young women to have babies early..put career on old..and pick it up when the children are at primary/pre-school.

SOURCE.. either radio national one of it's fellow ABC broadcasters.

If we want to really get some steam up for this thread :) I can put on my naughty stirrer hat and say that:

"FAILURE TO REPRODUCE AT A RATE OF >2 IS PASSIVE GENOCIDE"

Awful as that sounds.. it's actually true.. you might say "genocide by omission" like sins of omission..things we SHOULD have done, but didn't and then the outcome of 'not' doing something becomes terrible.

If we stop slaughtering the unborn the problem would be solved quickly. Unfortunately with the push for secularism and its dogmas the murders are just going to increase unless we have a sovereign move of God upon the wicked hearts of men and women in this country.

A great three posts to kick off.

"I hate women. Want to tell me how justified I am?" followed by, "not having children is the same as murder", and "whatever this thread's about, the answer is "secularism and abortion are evil"".

I think I'll go to the Stormfront boards for some more enlightened and civilised discussion.

Sancho:""I hate women. Want to tell me how justified I am?""

How on Earth do you get that from the OP? Please do tell us, because you've lost me completely.

Do we really want to increase the population substantially given our resources are not limitless?

We are already, in Australia, seeing burgeoning cities straining under the weight of poor planning and infrastructure to cope with this growth. Good farmland and more and more forests being cut down to make way for housing.

As far as birthrates and feminism, I would think that for the last ten years the birthrates have been influenced more by economic factors than gender. This is not to say that opening up other opportunities for women has not led to some making different decisions than they might have otherwise if they had been born in a different time.
