    Fertility rates aren’t the same as people choosing something… How the fuck do you not understand this? I really hope this was a shitty troll attempt because the level of idiocy required for your comment shouldn’t be possible.

      “Fertility rates” is used one way in the news article and another way in the journal article it is representing. The news article linked out to the wrong kind of fertility rate. See my parallel comment or follow the link yourself.

      As to why you don’t know that “fertility rates” can mean the rate of births divided by the population? I think it was simple ignorance. There’s nothing wrong with that as long as you aren’t a dick to others out of said ignorance.
