4. BYU. That says it all.

More and more young women especially are not just "delaying" motherhood but are rejecting it and marriage.

You have to break down a study like this according to marital status for it to have any meaning at all. You can't just extrapolate it to mean "of all Americans." Many young people are not married and won't be married, and it has little to do with money. It is more and more about a personal choice.

If Mormon-owned BYU doesn't like it and right-wing outfits don't like it, that's too bad.
