Now ya'll--by any measure, this is a symptom of a sick sick society. And sad, mercy how sad is all this??
Fake babies....did anybody read PD James' Children of Men? (Also made into a grade z movie). Plot is no baby has been born ON ALL THE EARTH for 10 years, and people are stealing kids, and women walk around is maternity clothes with pillows attached as haute couture--an yep, carryin' baby dolls. Finally a woman becomes pregnant and everyone riots--everyone wants to buy or steal the child--she flees with aid of ...well, nevermind the movie.
It's here now--almost. In Italy today, now, mayors PAY women to have babies because towns and villages are dying. Italy is in negative population --more coffins than cribs. The average 10 year old Italian in 2020 will have NO brothers or sisters, no aunts or uncles.
No European nation is keepin' even--they's all grey and dyin' -Russian is the worst--they's in a depopulation death spiral. Why? Women want careers not babies..until it is too late.
Folks wanna squeal about endangered species?

So here we have a nation of Connie Chung's who's mad as wet hens that they is infertile and "nobody told them" that iffin' ya delay baby-makin' til' yore 40s ya might miss it altogether? What? Them Connies' is all HAAAVAAARD educated but they failed bio 101? --and now they's angry that they can't "achieve" a pregnancy??
Ladies, if totin' a briefcase at 30 is more satisfyin' than totin' a bambino, din't ya know it might mean no--NO--little ones?
Mah heart is so sorrowful fer husbands an' wives who --no fault of they own--has fertility troubles..but those so ambitious types fer whom family life was last on the list to be checked off? One couple said they wannted to enjoy themselves in early life. Oh.
Another wanted a child, but not one that wet itself. oh.
Or cried an' were fussy, so a reborn baby let her push a buggy and git attention as a mama, but no cryin'.
I doan know why I'se goin' on so...what can be said of such bizarre news?
