The Left, Which Has Propagandized Against Childbirth and For the Self-Extiction of the Human Race for 50 Years, Wonders Why People Aren't Having Babies Any Longer

Of all the anti-human psyops of the left, this one is the most consequential -- and insidious.

The New York Times looks right past their own relentless anti-childbirth propaganda and names "cell phones" as the disruptor.

Now, thare's some truth in that -- in that the cell phone is The Regime's greatest achievement, a mobile, personal, 24/7/364 portal to Regime propaganda.

Why Are Birthrates Down? Two New Studies Point to Phones.

Modern smartphones rolled out in 2007, the year that fertility rates began falling. Two studies say that is not a coincidence.

The enduring mystery of the fertility decline has a new culprit: the smartphone.

Experts have long wondered if phones played a role in the birthrate decline -- which began in 2007, the same year that Apple introduced the iPhone -- but until now there had not been hard evidence to prove it.

Two new papers, one published Monday and the other in May, are the first academic endeavors that test whether the smartphone was a cause.

They are the most recent efforts to explain the sweeping fertility rate decline in the United States and other countries over the past 20 years. Researchers have already looked at contraception use, abortion rates, rising levels of female education and even the popular television show "16 and Pregnant."

Proving phones caused the decline is a tricky endeavor. There were a number of major events in those years, including the Great Recession, and isolating smartphone use is difficult.

The gold standard for scientific evidence is known as random assignment. It compares outcomes for people randomly chosen to receive a treatment (like getting a smartphone) with people who are not.

But that is not possible when it comes to ferreting out reasons for declining fertility.

So researchers sought out data about smartphones that introduced randomness.

Caitlin Myers, an economist at Middlebury College, and Ezekiel Hooper, her student, used the spotty early rollout of the iPhone as a way to isolate the effects of the phone on fertility. The first iPhone was released in June 2007, they wrote, and was available only on the AT&T network until February 2011. The study compared fertility rates in U.S. counties that had near-universal AT&T coverage with counties that had little or none.

Their paper, published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, found that the iPhone caused as much as half of the fertility decline between 2007 and 2011. The most pronounced effects were among young people aged 15 to 24.

What happened in the counties with iPhones? One theory, Professor Myers said, is that young people began to socialize more on their phones and less in person, and consequently were less likely to have sex and become pregnant.

And what messages did they get over their cellphones 24/7? Constant crisis, constant fear, constant messaging that the world was ending and it was all due to human births, constant messaging in favor of hook-up culture and abortion and, for the boys, pornography, and constant messaging against marriage, the family, and humanity itself.

And then they wonder: Why are women under 40 barren by their own decisions and actions?

The SPLC has declared that restricting abortion is "white supremacy."

By the way, the organization that calls all Republicans "Nazis" and gets them debanked and hunted by leftwing assassins can't comment on Gerald Platner's Nazi tattoo.

And speaking of cell phone disruption...

Update on another "Teen" Cultural Enricher:

MaryAnn Martinez @MaryAnnreports · Karmelo Anthony breaks down in tears as he heard verdict. We have not taken a break. Karmelo has been walked out of the court. Karmelo's mother is also sobbing in her seat.

Extraordinary moment just now: Karmelo's lawyer asked if he could take his client somewhere to pull himself together. Judge responded Karmelo has been found guilty is now in the custody of the sheriff. 'Things move differently now,' judge said.

Do they really think things are that far gone that they can just murder innocent people and then ask to be let go so they can calm themselves down with a fidget-spinner and pot?
