We’ve noted this “family gap” between liberals and conservatives over the past several years and the latest data show the division is widening.
Conservatives are now getting married and having children at substantially higher rates than liberals, and the gap is growing. Today, a liberal woman is about 27% less likely to be married than a conservative woman.
A liberal woman is now about 33% less likely to have kids than was true 40 years ago, and she is more than 44% less likely to have kids than a conservative woman.
This is one of many reasons that red states are seeing their populations grow so much faster than blue states.
All of this suggests that conservatives may eventually gain the upper hand politically via reproduction – unless the schools turn their kids against them.
But what is worrisome is that both our popular culture and our public schools are teaching our children not to have kids when they become adults.
Shameful!
