Parents Are Being Asked to Pay the Cost of Delivering Their Babies in Advance
Childbirth is already unaffordable for many. Now some are being asked to pay the bill before they even go into labor.

“Why is there a fertility crisis?”
Other than "line go up" economics, which I don't care about, I don't see a "crisis." Overall, less people is good for people and, more importantly, all the other life we are supposed to share the planet with.
100% for the wellbeing of life on earth. 0% for publicly traded corporation stock prices, at least in the medium term. That line can't go up forever.
Less people is good for people, but decreasing people isn't. Japan and Korea are currently suffering from this and it's affecting a lot more than line go up economics.
You don't get to less without decreasing, lol. Less economic growth and a temporary issue with too many old people. That's not a bad trade off for a better future for all.

Yes, which is exactly the problem.

Okay good luck convincing anyone else of that with how things are looking in South Korea.
I don't have to convince anyone, it is happening regardless. Yes, people will bitch and moan, but temporary hardships for the elderly who allowed this to happen is a small price to pay.
And why do states care so much about the birth rate crisis? Because it hurts them financially. https://missouriindependent.com/2024/10/22/missouri-mifepristone-lawsuit-andrew-bailey-teen-pregnancy/
We’ll just do what Russia does and outlaw anything that even encourages not having kids
Wait - that means outlawing this pre-pay system. Effectively slapping regulations on the free market. In fact, you could argue the costs of delivery, in general, encourages not having kids. Guess if conservatives want to emulate pooty poot we have to have deliveries subsidized. This alignment with Russia won’t take long to start making conservatives heads explode.
