Tara passes along: In a story allegedly about the all-time high birth rate to "unwed mothers" is a note that the overal US birthrate up 2% last year. The problem with the article in general is that it doesn't correlate "unwed" with anything else, but beyond that alarmism, the one paragraph of substance: Birth rates for all women in the 20s and 30s was also on the rise. After falling during the 1990s, the birth rate for women between 20 and 24 - the principal childbearing ages - rose 1 percent to 111.2 births per 1,000. The rate for women aged 30 to 34 rose 2 percent to 87.4 births per 1,000 women - the highest rate since 1965. I guess this means we'll have plenty of slaves to support our social security in our old age, but where the !@#$%^&* are we gonna put all these people?
