One contributing factor:

Analysis shows that almost a third of Generation Z does not exist due to abortion - ZENIT - English

The revelation that nearly one-third of an entire generation is missing from the country’s demographic story ensures that abortion will remain not just a policy dispute, but a defining question of America’s cultural identity

Valid points.
You can tell an author's bias to amplify an issue when 28% is "nearly one third" instead of "a little over a quarter".

That number does not include illegally performed or the day after pill. Gen z is the generation where good times lead to weak men in the old saying
 
I am anti abortion and also anti people. Trend hasn’t changed notably in any direction:

still don't see an issue.

the eff we need 25 million more people in the USA for?

i've never understood this blind drive to build/drill/dig/blast/clear/pollute/pave over/use up ever single last piece of good earth just to grow the population

no other species on the planet behaves this way

There needs to be population growth and inflation to cover the debts of the previous generation unless we want to go to war to settle debts the old fashioned way

I had no idea that many abortions were performed.

They don't either. Its all guesses that vary wildly depending what color shirt you wear, because a lot of things aren't reported or aren't what they are polled on. Possibly an undercount, maybe not.

Numbers don’t add up. We would notice a 20 million drop. Either there’s more to the story or it’s exaggerated.

Eggs Zachary.

More importantly, since this article didn't provide any useful reference to the data source, I had to go digging for it.
You can read it here for yourself:
www.guttmacher.org

Abortion in the United States

The Guttmacher Institute recently published new data on abortion in the United States. As we work to update our fact sheets with the latest data, please be aware that some of the information below is out of date. In the meantime, please refer to the following resources for the most current facts...
www.guttmacher.org www.guttmacher.org

To their credit, the report is very factual and doesn't draw extensive conclusions or extra meaning... unlike what is linked above.
To your point - Take a look at the first chart
Yes, abortions are on the rise... since 2020... but holy hell look at the long range trend. You wanna talk about an "aborted" generation? Thats us late Gen X and Millennials. It was 2x the rate back then, and a much smaller total population of the country at the time. By the math of the above prior article, that means something like half of us never made it.

This "striking increase" is a just a TINY blip by comparison.

The "more to the story" is that (1) this is a small effect compared to history and (2) immigration has been increasing to balance out the decreasing birth rate. That's how our population has remained slightly positive.
 
^typed this at the same time as the above.....tracking!

no you wouldn't, especially if those numbers assumed Plan B pills, which has been happening for years

and wasn't that the purpose of opening the borders and 'resettling' people in population 'decline' areas over the past decade or more?

the population is increaseing, just not with 'Americans'

Those old school 6+ numbers🤯 I could only imagine it being normal for 6 children would be hard to handle

I'm sure it wasn't a cakewalk, but you just structure your life differently, and when its the norm, people are just used to it. Society used to be built around families being larger and depending more on one another.

I have several friends that have big families and also come from big families. For them its just... normal.
 
I don't see this covered, and maybe I missed it.
I came across a snippet talking about Chinas Population numbers being inflated... BY A LOT. Basically, the math doesn't seem to math.

in 1960 Chinas population is recorded at 667M
in 2026 it's recorded at 1.4B

Assuming monogamous relations over 66 years, and with an average global death rate of 0.8% annual factored in, every couple would need to have 4 kids. Every couple...for 66 years...when just over half of that time was under a One Child Policy.

Maybe I'm missing some factor in there somewhere.

You can't trust either number

agreed. makes you wonder if either or both are/were a smoke screen.

The shift in society from farming to industry largely happened during the period covered, and getting an accurate count of children from farming communities is much more difficult than factory workers. That along with strong political motivations to muck with the numbers to support the administration's current goals has led to the numbers we get being total fantasy at both ends.
