States where the Republican presidential candidate received more support produced more babies than states that supported the Democrat — and religious faith plays a vital role in reversing their baby bust, a new study has found.
“Republican states (those that Trump won in 2020) generally have markedly higher fertility rates than Democratic ones (those that Biden won), suggesting that more men and women feel confident about starting and raising families in red states than blue ones,” concluded a study titled “Where Are the Babies? In Red States, Fertility Rates Are Higher” by Brad Wilcox and Michael Pugh of the Institute for Family Studies (IFS).
