JD Vance wants more babies. Americans want help raising them [View all]

Global birth rates are falling, and many on the right want you to get out there and breed for the good of the U.S. of A.

“Let me say very simply, I want more babies in the United States of America,” Vice President JD Vance said at an anti-abortion rally in January.

But new polling finds that most Americans do not share his concern about declining birth rates. What they are concerned about, though, may be one of the reasons for lower birth rates: the budget-busting price of becoming a parent and raising a kid. And they largely disagree with Vance’s idea of how to fix it.

Just 28% of Americans say declining birth rates are a major problem, according to a new survey from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Meanwhile, 44% say it’s a minor problem, and 27% consider it no problem at all.
