There are stark social consequences for America’s declining fertility. What can we do to reverse the trends we’re seeing? Politicians on both sides of the aisle propose incentives and resources for family formation, it is difficult to know which options would be successful. Good ideas for policy change begin with good data, and through commitment and cooperation we can move in a pro-family, pro-life direction. Good data, however, is something that is unheard of when it comes to abortion. The abortion industry wants to hide the stories of mothers who have had traumatizing experiences with chemical or surgical abortion, and they have manipulated the government to rollback requirements on reporting. Today we are joined by an expert in data analysis to help us sift through ideas for strengthening the American family. Lyman Stone is currently an adjunct fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a Research Fellow at the Institute for Family Studies, and a former International Economist at the US Department of Agriculture, where he forecasts cotton market conditions. His work has been covered in the The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and numerous local outlets. Lyman, Along with our recent guest Brad Wilcox, Co authored the recent report— the divided state of our unions: family formation in post COVID-19 America.
