According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the birth rate has declined to 63.2 children per 1,000 women, the lowest in national history. Birth rates are declining for those in lower age-brackets, but not surprisingly, increasing for women aged 35-44. Unwed mothers account for 40.7% of all births. Not good.

U.S. birth rate lowest in history, and 4 out of 10 children are born to unwed mothers

I think this should read 63.2 children per 1,000 women, not 100,000.

That would be an extremely low birth rate! Good catch. Fixed.
