Darwinian pregnancy rate
The researcher quoted here says pregnancy rates are down because of improved use of contraception:

A parable for government school children
Redhead Ducks and Christian Children
I was listening to CBC radio on 99.1 FM yesterday as I often do on
Saturdays. Not that I agree with the views they espouse, but more so
