On this episode of The Federalist Radio Hour, Rebeccah Heinrichs, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute and Federalist contributor, joins Culture Editor Emily Jashinsky to discuss her recent American Mind article "Baby Bust" and how America's fertility crisis "signals a psychological cost for women."
"What the country needs is less pressure to break glass ceilings and more honor for the forging of strong foundations that only lasting familial bonds can provide," Heinrichs writes.

If you wonder why we aren't procreating enough taxpayers, I think this guy lays out the issues really well. The video is easier than the podcast for a bunch of reasons. Also, this guy leans towards Moore left solutions, and I think he might be right but the issue is we are just too dumb and corrupt to pull it off.
