https://illinoisfamily.tv/videos/watch/b94a1fce-6c26-4436-9e00-ab666a0513de In this thought-provoking commentary, Dr. Albert Mohler Jr. examines the dramatic decline in U.S. fertility rates—now at record lows after nearly two decades of steady decline. Drawing on federal data and cultural analysis, this segment explores the far-reaching implications of fewer births, including demographic shifts, economic strain, and the reshaping of American society. From a Christian worldview, Dr. Mohler highlights the deeper moral and spiritual dimensions behind this trend. Why are fewer people choosing marriage and parenthood? What role have contraception, delayed childbearing, and shifting cultural priorities played? And what does it mean for a society when nearly half of women reach age 30 without having children? While declines in teen pregnancies are often seen as positive, the broader drop among women in their 20s raises urgent questions about the future of family, faith, and civilization. Dr. Mohler challenges us to think critically about what’s driving these trends—and what they mean for the next generation. FYI - Dr. R. Albert Mohler Jr. serves as president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary – the flagship school of the Southern Baptist Convention and one of the largest seminaries in the world.
