From the Daily Wire:\n<\/p>\n

The U.S. fertility rate reached a record low in 2025, continuing a troubling trend as annual deaths are projected to exceed annual births in America within the next decade.\n<\/p>\n

Total births per 1,000 American women aged 15-44 dropped to 53.1 last year, according to data released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Last year also marked the first time in U.S. history that women in their late 30s had higher birth rates than women in their 20s, The Wall Street Journal reported.\n<\/p>\n

Recent projections from the Congressional Budget Office warn that, beginning in 2033, there will be more deaths reported in the United States than births. After 2032, U.S. population growth will be entirely dependent on net immigration, according to the Congressional Budget Office\u2019s projections. The United States recorded just 514,000 more births than deaths in 2025.\n<\/p>\n

\n

A major driver of this decline is the sharp drop in births among younger Americans. Since 2010, the birth rate among women ages 20 to 24 has fallen dramatically, while teen birth rates have declined even more steeply. At the same time, many Americans are delaying parenthood due to financial pressure, uncertainty, and shifting cultural priorities.\n<\/p>\n

Experts note that uncertainty about the future is shaping family decisions in significant ways. As more people delay or forgo having children, the long-term effects could reshape the workforce, economy, and stability of the nation.\n<\/p>\n

The Donald Trump<\/span><\/span> administration has taken steps to address the issue, including policies aimed at encouraging family formation and reducing the cost of fertility treatments. Leaders like JD Vance<\/span><\/span> have also emphasized the need for a renewed cultural value on children and generational responsibility.\n<\/p>\n

Most importantly, this trend reflects deeper cultural and spiritual challenges. The first command God gave us was to be fruitful and multiply (Genesis 1:28). And later in Scripture, the Lord is clear that children are blessings (Psalm 127:3-5). The sharp decline in births reflects a culture that has rejected God and put personal convenience above spiritual responsibility.\n<\/p>\n

As intercessors, let\u2019s pray for a renewed value for life, family, and children in our nation. May God restore a culture that sees children as a blessing and strengthens families for generations to come!\n<\/p>\n
