At the Natal Conference in Austin, a diverse audience gathered to address the alarming decline in U.S. fertility rates, now at a historic low of 1,616 births per 1,000 women. Dating app entrepreneur Amanda Bradford highlighted the mismatch between modern dating practices and family creation during her speech to predominantly male attendees.
