"The total fertility rate in the United States -- the number of children born per woman -- has dropped by nearly half since the 1950s to 1.88. Historically, declines in total fertility rates have been seen during times of economic hardship, such as the Great Depression and the 1970s energy crisis. Accordingly, increases were seen in more plentiful eras like the 1950s and 1960s -- out of which came the baby boomer generation. Fluctuations have been less dramatic in recent decades, but geographical differences still exist. That got us thinking: Which states are the most fertile -- and how might the expense of having children and changes in health policy affect women's decision to have children?

The most fertile states in the nation
Do you live in one of the most fertile states? We used the Centers for Disease Control's total fertility rates to determine the most fertile parts of the United States:

1. Utah: 2.374 children born per woman
2. South Dakota: 2.269
3. Idaho: 2.193
4. Alaska: 2.185
5. North Dakota: 2.122
6. Nebraska: 2.119
7. Kansas: 2.118
8. Hawaii: 2.095
9. Texas: 2.075
10. Oklahoma: 2.039

The least fertile states in the nation
Is your home state resistant to multiple children? These are the states (inclusive of the District of Columbia) with the lowest total fertility rates:

1. Rhode Island: 1.593 children born per woman
2. New Hampshire: 1.605
3. D.C.: 1.608
4. Vermont: 1.613
5. Massachusetts: 1.632
6. Connecticut: 1.665
7. Maine: 1.678
8. Oregon: 1.742
9. Florida: 1.769
10. New York: 1.773"

Interestingly, nine of the ten most fertile are red, and all ten of the least fertile are blue.

Interesting.

A factor in the equation is the demographic and educational state of the population.

If they are in the fertile age: More children
The lower the level of education: More children
High infant mortality: More children

It's also possible conservative women have more children than liberal women by choice.

Religious beliefs may have something to do with it to, although some, who hate religion, might want to equivocate that to education.

Hey Perfesser Brainiac! How do you figger Florida is blue? The governor is GOP, the legislature is GOP, the Cabinet if GOP, and most of the Congressional districts are GOP.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Florida is old...

I'm wondering if the point-88 of a child is maybe missing a leg?

I figger any state that voted in 2008 to elect Obama as president and then voted in 2012 to reelect him is at the very least bluish. That's how.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Florida Universities are geared to athletics. Academics is a distant third behind partying.

You're right religion has a real effect on that, and religion is pretty anti education at this juncture in human history. We can demonstrate and or observe that most of the religious beliefs are total fucking bullshit, blind faith and modern education are at odds with each other....that is why old world religion is dying off into mythology faster than ever before in 1st world industrialized nations.

No...they voted for the Republican in both elections..... Well, at least the last one...you might be able to argue McBane but Romney? Vettes favorite guy was a pro choice, gun banning, Obamacare inventing, tax happy flaming fuckin' liberal Masshole right up until he got the GOP nomination and changed his tune to Tea Party rhetoric. The only thing republican about that guy was the (R) in front of his name and the crusty spit ring around his cock from FOX news/vetteman.

It's not so much religion, but religion as part of a culture, a culture of closeness that is absent in most urban and suburban settings. In KANSAS, you know everyone, everyone knows you, there is a real palatable sense of community and life events are celebrated and cherished, be it birth or death; people tend to family and love of family, and oftentimes, a higher education is not a pathway to success but following the family way of life is more often perceived as a pathway to a fulfilled life.

Even though virtually all right wingers didn't consider McCain and especially Romney to be remotely conservative enough for their tastes, I consider both men to be more conservative than Obama, and I think most Floridians would agree with me.

It's not absent...you just don't know where to look for it, maybe you were raised a country kid or w/e. But you can't just say because there is more than one clique about in urban and suburban settings, they don't have a culture of closeness....because that's 100% bullshit.

In KANSAS, you know everyone, everyone knows you, there is a real palatable sense of community and life events are celebrated and cherished, be it birth or death; people tend to family and love of family,

Really? I bet not a single fucking person in that state can name all 2.886 MILLION residence.

But just going off where I think you were trying to go with that......

There isn't that many people out in shitsville.....there is a limited number of human beings any one person can be social with, and while you might claim 100 friends/family in rural Kansas is better than 100 friends/family in Kansas City......you're full of fucking shit. It's nothing but personal opinion.....

and oftentimes, a higher education is not a pathway to success

The facts disagree.....the educated have a much higher standard of living than the uneducated, they achieve far higher positions in business/government and are overall far better paid.

but following the family way of life is more often perceived as a pathway to a fulfilled life.

Personal fulfillment and life success are RARELY the same thing.....that's why we have happy/miserable people in every spectrum of society.

I apologize for ever having tried to communicate with you. My bad.

Obviously not....Red ass Florida chose O over Romney.

Like I said, you can argue McCain.....but you can't defend Romney.

As MA gov he was far further left than O as POTUS.......when gay marriage, pot, and gun bans go federal under O you might have an argument.

Here is 20 min of him trying to defend his lies and long term liberalism with a (R) POTUS nomination and changing his tune.

The guy was about as republican as a gay pride rally in SF right up until he got the GOP nomination, and he lost b/c he couldn't reconcile his flaming liberal past with the current GOP voters.

I figger youre fulla shit cuz McCain and Romney equal Obama, same-o, same-o.

That's exactly what the fuck I thought aint' got shit.......the religious types never do.

Yeah, sure. Obama was reelected because he was perceived as being the more conservative choice by most people. Bullshit.

I figger you're wrong, on all counts.

I'm an atheist and you're an idiot.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Then show me another elected conservative that...

1) staunchly pro choice for over a decade

2) signed and promoted multiple gun bans for over a decade...not 1 veto.

3) Pro Cannabis

4) Pro gay rights for over a decade

And then get's up there and outright lies "I didn't do that" to the people.

I mother fucking triple dog dare you bitch.....

If you think the reason Obama was reelected was because most voters feared Romney would be more liberal than Obama, you're a silly bitch, bitch.

Liar...I don't believe for one second that you....Mr.Let's talk up the church and promote Christianity at every possible turn is an atheist any more than I would believe vette is a center of the road kinda guy.

Idiot? Maybe so but I'm not enough of an idiot to buy the dumb shit claims you made. You know.... that because of the religious culture in places like Kansas they have a better sense of community....where did you come up with that stupid shit?

And all you have done is call me names and fail horribly to back up anything you have said....

I knew you couldn't name a single one......

I'm sorry that I do not conform to the running dialog in your head.

PS - I was also raised in a suburb on the remnants of the family farm, most of it having been condemned by eminent domain for a growing city. Then I joined the Marines, then I lived in the city, and then and only then, after we had made our fortunes, did we move to rural America (where my wife was originally from and felt more comfortable in).

So really, fuck you. You do not know me and are simply unable to address what I said reasonably and logically being stuck in the paradigm where you have to deconstruct people in order to construct a reply. I repeat, you are an asinine, arrogant, know-it-all idiot.
