@guardtheham1233 In large part due to the shaming and stigmatizing that the God Squad dishes out. Also, let's see- women abort formerly wanted pregnancies due to discovery of birth defects, changes (often severe) in their financial situation, abuse, and much more. Women have to scramble to get appointments, funding, time off work, childcare, care of other dependents, a place to stay, etc. They often need to make all of this happen without abusive domestic partners/family members finding out. All of this was bad even before the Dobbs decision, thanks to (frankly unconstitutional) TRAP laws, and it just got worse.

@nightnyungwe5945 I'm well aware of all of that. You make some errors; the Victorian era was a time of slow-but-steady decline in total fertility rates (births per woman). In fact, that's one of the things that led to the eugenic concerns we see in this video. Total fertility rates declined, and then declined at a faster rate, due to increasing education of girls, among other reasons.
Thankfully, the West isn't usually imposing these solutions anymore. Said solutions are being made available, and they're extraordinarily helpful. See the decline in Bangladesh's total fertility rate, along with India's and those of many other countries.
Africa's population is not an asset if they can't be adequately fed (among other things). Of course the problem is due to political factors, but that's unfortunately not going to change without massive tumult that would go on for a long time and be very destructive in its own right. That, and now the environmental factors are worse than ever before.
China's population figures were the object of scorn and derision when things looked hopeless. Note that the One-Child Policy only sped up the process that was already underway (family planning campaigns with far fewer dreadful elements were already in operation), it really served to empower the regime even more. China's demographics are not necessarily a source of strength today.
Keep in mind that I'm very pleased with the low (and often sub-replacement) total fertility rates in wealthy (and sometimes not-very-wealthy) countries. That needs to spread and continue. It's better for everyone who remains, and indeed it's better for all of the hypothetical people never even conceived/born.
