There should be ways to bring marriage minded, child-wanting, single people together. Does Tinder have a box to check for this? Facebook? The other sites?

We should advocate Tinder etc have a way to say in your profile, "I want kids. I am interested in having kids. Pretty much now. At this time in my life. Not someday."

People can state that view in their profile. But having a box to check would make SORTING by that factor easy.

The future belongs to those who show up.

Demographics is destiny. There are lots of obstacles. But meeting the right person is the beginning, and that needs to be made easier.

We either fund the children of The DC unelected Liberal bourgeois with Ivy league educations and illegal immigrant healthcare, or we take our tax dollars back and fund a national effort to drive up the American birth rate..

Which is it gonna be?

OK. But there have to be ways to get families and children right now, before better conditions are in place. In these conditions, right NOW. Which admittedly are BAD. But you can't wait.

It's all very slow: if you get pregnant THIS WEEKEND, the kid isn't even here for almost a YEAR; then another six months go by before he or she is even mobile at all. Then talking and walking take another six months at least. School issues are several presidencies in the future. By that time you may be living somewhere else or may home school.

There is no time to wait for reasonable conditions. Childbearing may "require a re-thinking of priorities" as they say. It has to be insisted on, or it won't happen. The winds blow against it.
