Is not a blog post but was a very interesting story from USA Today, Nearly 1 in 5 older women are going childless:
More women today are childless: Nearly one in five end their childbearing years without having a baby, compared with one in 10 just 30 years ago. That's true for all racial and ethnic groups and for most education levels, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of Census data for women ages 40 to 44.
That is a huge number. 20% of women leave their childbearing years childless. This is clearly the wave of the future. As women put off marriage and then put off children, sooner or later they run out of time. Many more are intentionally not having children. There are lots of reasons but the end result is that fewer and fewer women will be mothers and that will certainly have an impact on our culture.
