40% babies out-of-wedlock
Behind the number is both good and bad news. While it shows the US population is more than replacing itself, a healthy trend, the teen birth rate was up for a second year in a row. -- PHOTO: AFP
ATLANTA - MORE babies were born in the United States in 2007 than any year in the nation's history - and a wedding ring made increasingly little difference in the matter.
The 4,317,119 births, reported by federal researchers on Wednesday, topped a record first set in 1957 at the height of the baby boom.
Abortions down to lowest levels
Meanwhile, US abortions dropped to their lowest levels in decades, according to other reports. Some have attributed the abortion decline to better use of contraceptives, but other experts have wondered if the rise in births might indicate a failure in proper use of contraceptives. Some earlier studies have shown declining availability of abortions.
The statistics are based on a review of most 2007 birth certificates by the National Centre for Health Statistics, part of the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.

Behind the number is both good and bad news. While it shows the US population is more than replacing itself, a healthy trend, the teen birth rate was up for a second year in a row.
The birth rate rose slightly for women of all ages, and births to unwed mothers reached an all-time high of about 40 per cent, continuing a trend that started years ago. More than three-quarters of these women were 20 or older.
For a variety of reasons, it's become more acceptable for women to have babies without a husband, said Duke University's S. Philip Morgan, a leading fertility researcher.
Even happy couples may be living together without getting married, experts say. And more women - especially those in their 30s and 40s - are choosing to have children despite their single status.
The new numbers suggest the second year of a baby boomlet, with US fertility rates higher in every racial group, the highest among Hispanic women. On average, a US woman has 2.1 babies in her lifetime. That's the 'magic number' required for a population to replace itself.
Countries with much lower rates - such as Japan and Italy - face future labour shortages and eroding tax bases as they fail to reproduce enough to take care of their aging elders.
While the number of births in the US reached nearly 4.3 million in 2006, mainly due to a larger population, especially a growing number of Hispanics, it's not clear the boomlet will last. Some experts think birth rates are already declining because of the economic recession that began in late 2007.
The 2007 statistical snapshot reflected a relatively good economy coupled with cultural trends that promoted childbirth, she and others noted. -- AP

Another loon!
The anti-abortionists start showing their true colors when you give them enough time. Wackos!!!
What a loon...(sm)
Treason is voting for Obama? Wow. So in your twisted little mind we shouldn't have the right to vote for who we want as president. The ignorance of some on this board is simply astounding.
The guy's a loon. I shudder to think what might have been. I really do.
..
You are a total loon
You were better off when you weren't saying much. Now you are saying O is the president of death? Good God woman people are not murdering children.
That woman is more of a loon than Sean Penn
nm
Some crazy loon on talk radio today
said that Bush's grandfather had Kennedy assasinated. Do you believe that?
you mean left wing....it's a left wing ding website on the messiah....the right wouldn't bothe
Really? Gosh.......
Then where to all those lesbos and homos get their biological children? Immaculate conception? But Mr. Phelps says God hates us.
Egads
oh my gosh
just take the post about Bob the Builder for what it was--amusing. Calm down. It is okay if everyone doesn't agree with you. In fact, I bet everyone DISagrees with you on something.
Oh....my.....gosh.....sm
And I thought some of the comments on this board get out of hand from time to time.
Well, ladies, I went to Youtube to see Obama's radio/video address today, and I started to read the comments....some Obama supporter (I hesitate to call him a fruitcake or nut job, for fear of retaliation)....but he is a loon....
He called someone else who left an opinion, the "c---" word....oh....my....gosh....I feel kinda dirty right about now....
I do hope that if Obama continues to post his addresses on video on youtube, that they have someone monitor the comments, or close them altogether. That type of response does no one any good, Obama supporter or nonsupporters....

My gosh...we are over it
Somehow I don't think you've come to terms with it. We all know he won. But don't presume to tell us "get behind YOUR president". I doubt you were standing behind Bush. The traitors are in the office now. The patriots like Rush Limbaugh and other republicans have a voice and it doesn't sound like many are happy that we don't want to see the country destroyed. I guess you'd rather us all sit back and enjoy the road to he!!.
Also the Declaration of Independence clearly states "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." - So in your own words... "Get behind it or stand with the biggest traitors of all".
You've also don't have a keen eye for mathematics. In case you don't realize we are going to have another election in 2012. So while Obama may be the present for the next 4 years your a bit premature that he will win the next election, and at the rate he's going? You better stick to 4 rather than "assume".

Oh, gosh
some of these twits do not understand you just took a metaphor and gave it a twist. I guess they don't get out much, either. It's called sarcasm, people. Work with us here!
But gosh,
he was decrying all the pork in the stimulus package wasn't he? You don't mean he was lying???? I must have misheard what he was saying.
Gosh!
And here we all thought the correct way was: ''way more clearer.'' Wow! You write real good!
It's in several of the posts, don't you see it? OH MY GOSH!!! SM
You can't see the WORD Christian now! It was in Yepper's post, which is what I was really talking about but you really cares?
Good gosh!!!!
I don't know what to do about this election folks!!!! I'm scared of McCain..and I'm just not sure about Obama either....time is running out..
Scared of McCain because he seems to be a bit of a hot head..and Obama is scary because its almost cult like with him...
I know...research...but its just becoming too overwhelming...
I get this mental picture of terrorists licking their chops savoring the thought that USA is going to be prone for another attack..after this election just to test the resolve of the President..whoever that will be..
I worry about economics but I am more afraid of an attack within the USA...I want someone who will strike fear in our enemies...These terrorists are not the kind of people I picture sitting and discussing differences over a conference table...
Research today and see where I lean to...
Gosh darn it!
Oh, thanks for enlightening me -- I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT I KNOW GAY MEN PRODUCE SPERM. but they need an egg to produce a child (DS)!!! I feel as if I am posting in romper room here. Good grief!
Gosh darnit. There you go, sam,
For every mudball hurled by the right, there should be one hurled back in response. We learned that from the right-wing swiftboating tactics of days gone by. Obama's ads are issues oriented and are aimed at contrasting the differences between the candidates on those issues. McCain has been erratic, impulsive and basically clueless up to this point on the bail out. I see nothing wrong in pointing that out since he was the one who made himself look so stupid. Obama and others had already explored the possibility of buying up bad mortgages during the negotiations for the bailout bill before McCain announced his claim to the idea in the debate.
McCain's ads are character assignations, void of political content. They play on fear and seek to incite anger, generate hatred and ignite cultural wars, plain and simple. Obama's ads deal with issues and facts. There is a difference.
Obama said nothing about not helping homeowers, you did. Before the crisis even emerged, Obama had included plans in his economic policies to protect homeowners. He didn't flip on anything. you are just trying to misconstrue the facts to make it look like he did. This tactic will not win any elections. By the way, Obama is not the only one who thinks that the "bad lenders" should be punished. Before it's over, they should face their day in court.
I am still patiently waiting for you to elighten us all on just how McCain will "fix" the economy.
Now, gosh darnit, there you go again.
already copyrighted anal in 2000.
OH MY GOSH would you chill?
I asked you a question! That is all!
So in your line of thinking I can say whatever I want to on here and no one should be able to question me and I shouldn't have to prove a thing????
In that case...Obama is an alien from another world and Biden is too. They were sent here by their leader to take over the USA. Shortly after winning the election they plan to set off nukes to every major nation on the planet including the USA and blowing us out of the universe. But first they will round up the women and children and take them back to their home planet of Vogoron where they will be used as servants for the royal household.
It's a fact. I said so.
Gosh darn right!

Gosh darnit. There you go again.
unfounded accusations. An MT should not have to be breaking down grammatical structures to other MTs to make themselves understood, but if you insist, here goes.
"Don't follow links..." is an example of imperative (mood) sentence. In this context, the subject of the sentence is implied. You have reckoned/assumed the subject to be "You", as in a command when, in fact, the intended subject was "I", meaning "I don't follow links..." My mistake. I was exending the assumption that those who read the post had the intelligence to figure that out. Next time, I will remember that when O haters are in the audience, I have to spell everything out.
Naturally, I think O supporters are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves and free to respond in kind with their own take on the link. They don't need my help to defend their own positions and certainly don't need to be shielded from pitifully impotent propaganda. Wouldn't hold my breath on that, though. With the election winding down and the odds stacked so heavily in our favor, it is likely you will see less and less of us up here on this forum. Our work here is done.
Oh gosh, that was nothing compared
to watching my husband listen to any Democrat, ever. He turns red and interrupts constantly. Eventually I shush him and he stomps out of the room, muttering under his breath all the while. Then he's mad at me.  At least Rush is civil.
Oh my gosh. They keep calling you because of people
like me who voted as registered dems in the primary. The Bradley efffect is alive and well. Of course, only registered dems would answer their phones during the dinner hour. :) Republicans can afford voice mail.
Well, I'll be gosh danged!! s/m
I'm about 50 miles north of Fort Smith now up Highway 59, about 15 miles from Stilwell!! You'll have to let me know if you get back here and maybe we can get together.
Yes, Wal-Mart is good for the economy in NW Arkansas, I'll admit to that but their workers aren't treated anywhere near as well as when Sam was alive. Most as I understand it get food stamps and Medicaid and Wal-Mart gets all kinds of concessions in order to get them to build stores that most certainly aren't available to small businesses. They effectively make it near impossible for small businesses to stay in business. There's rumors that they're going to build a store in my area and the local grocery store said if that happens they will be out of business. The reason isn't prices, it's the small guy can't carry all the stuff Wal-Mart carries. He can and will special order, which he does for me all the time, but most people want everything NOW.
Gosh: Hukabee had a special on TV
I'm sorry I missed it because I as out when his program was on. I saw the tail end. I'm sure it was interesting. If anyone knows of a link or something I can go to to see his whole program, please post a link. I'd really like to see what it was all about.
Gosh, why don't you read the post
No one said assassination attempts do not occur. Try reading the post again slowly and sound out the big words.
My gosh - it's like being back in kindergarten
My niece and nephews have better manners.
It's been awhile since I wrote that, so thanks for the reply.
I dont want to make fun of him, but gosh, he did

For gosh sakes, the media, they always
lie, don't they? Widely reported over, over, over, over, and over again that it was people who got loans who made 14,000 a year who "qualified" for a $750,000 mortgage and when the creative financing (i.e., interest rates went up) went belly up, they couldn't even pay the interest. Those debtors didn't spend their way to prosperity.
Give me a break. It is now people who have lost their jobs who were paying their mortgages who can no longer pay their mortgages. Going to be a lot more, too.
Hats off to Barney Frank and his ilk.
Oh my gosh... let's call out the guard!!
Found this on a web site reporting tea party in front of the white house yesterday....
"Protesters even threw what appeared to be a box of tea bags toward the White House, causing a brief lockdown at the compound." 
Gosh, I've always been quite proud
of my hazel eyes. Sure, I was born with that color, can't take credit for them, but still I think they're much nicer than, say, blue or brown eyes. I'm also pretty pumped about my great vision and hearing.
Gosh, this site might not be safe since you have IP information!!!
how does it feel?
well, gosh darm it, that makes me so happy
Gee whiz.
Gosh, you've lost me on this, please fill me in.
Dont know about the 1600 or what this is reference to. Thanks.
For gosh sakes. I was not attributing statements
to NP. It was satire. It popped into my head. I could just picture her standing in front of a mother saying that.
Lighten up a little.
Oh my gosh - the Clinton years were the worst
I have never seen such horrible horrible times as the Clinton years. It was awful, awful, awful. DH and I both worked full time. We both had excellent salaries but we could never get ahead. We didn't live life in the rich lane - a 1 bedroom apartment (no washer dryer) in a hole-in-the-wall complex. A Ford Taurus (so not a fancy car). I don't own any diamonds or furs and my clothes were bought at the local Walmart, Sears or stores like that. No children, no college education to pay off and we had absolutely nothing. Clinton's tax increases raised our taxes so high that we were paying out 38% in taxes and even then at the end of the year we always owed an extra $2000. Everyone kept telling us to buy a house and get all these great "benees". In SF? Right! We couldn't afford to go out to eat never mind buy a house and when we did try to apply for a loan we were turned down. On top of that my family and friends back east were losing their jobs (thank you NAFTA). Family freinds were losing their homes because they lost their jobs and they were starting to live in their cars. My dad took in a couple he knew because they were living in a campground and winter came and it got too cold to stay in their tent. It wasn't until Clinton got out of office that our taxes went down, we were able to save some money, get a better place to live, and go out to eat with family and start to enjoy life a little more. The economy may be bad now, but we're in better shape than we were when Clinton's were in. Now we're terrified we're going to be back into the same exact sitaution. We're certainly not in great shape here, so anything worse would put us in a bad situation but luckily we rent so can move if we have to. But the economy needs a lof of work. We have no health insurance (unless you want to call having a policy that you have to pay 10K/year first before the insurance company will pitch in), DH is out of work and we just take one day at a time. All I know is most everyone I know (family, friends, and acquantances of my family) say they may have thought Clinton to be a good looking guy, but they have been better off financially since he left office.
My gosh--stop the personal bashing...
I thought liberals fancied themselves empathetic and thought conservatives were the hate mongers!

No need. I can't think of who else left besides Nan before. sm
That's why I didn't name their name. Either way, my point was they'll be back.
Actually what the left
expects and the right should too is not to be lied to on a continual basis, to have our constitution upheld. We didnt go into this war to spread democracy we went because this administration lied. WMD remember? THATS why we went into Iraq, that and the fact that due to republican spin fully half of Americans believed Saddam did 09/11. and meanwhile the real perp of 09/11 runs free. If Iraq had no oil, we never would have gone in there. Sadly, Mr bush has made one huge mess that is costing us billions and killing our soldiers. Yeah a whole lot of America is furious and upset and we have good reason to be.
Look what the left does..
maybe this was posted before but it just goes to show how biased the media is and what liars they really are. the quote in red was the actual quote. Look how the media decided to butcher it.
The media is trying REALLY hard to paint Sarah Palin into an evil religious zealot. The AP is willing to break the typically utilized laws of printing the English language to do it.
According to the AP, Sarah Palin said this about the troops while at church:
“Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,"
According to real life, Sarah Palin said this about the troops while at church (with the AP’s selective quoting underlined):
“Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending them out on a task that is from God,”
The AP quote means “Iraq is a mission from God.”
The actual quote means “We pray Iraq is a mission from God.”
The headline is even more misleading.
Palin: Iraq war 'a task that is from God'
The AP not only doesn't mention the previous sentence, or the first part of the sentence they quote, they also essentially ignore the meaning of the very next sentence as well. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."
This is a statement of humble reflection from Palin. To translate into terms the media might understand, its "I hope we're doing the right thing."
This story is bad enough that the AP really should issue a correction on it, if not a full retraction. There's no story unless you butcher the quote. It's based on half (or a quarter) of a quote, mentally ignoring the previous and following sentences, and even presenting the trimmed quote as the start of a sentence --forcing them to capitalize a word that actually appeared in the middle of the sentence.
Really bad.
you left off
