This statement comes amid a notable decline in U.S.birth rates, currently at a record low of 54.5 births per 1,000 women, according to the CDC. <\/p>\n<p>Roan&#8217;s comments have ignited a robust debate online, with many parents sharing their own experiences in response. Some, like Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, criticized her opinion as &#8220;dumb,&#8221; asserting that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">statistical evidence shows married women<\/a> with children are the happiest demographic in America. Others, such as Breeze Airways CEO David Neeleman, expressed their disagreement with Roan&#8217;s views, highlighting the joy they observed in new parents.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, recent discourse from political figures, including Vice President JD Vance, advocates for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-chinese-economy-is-in-a-death-spiral\/\" title=\"The Chinese Economy Is in a Death Spiral\">increasing birth rates<\/a> in the U.S., which have substantially fallen as their peak in 2007. The subject has generated interest and discussions regarding the societal pressures and realities of parenthood today.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Chappell Roan says she doesn&rsquo;t know a parent &lsquo;who is happy&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2042774\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Singer <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/celebrities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Chappell Roan<\/a>&lsquo;s comments on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3333452\/trump-transportation-department-to-prioritize-birth-rates-in-doling-out-projects-amid-declining-fertility\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"motherhood\">motherhood<\/a> have sparked debate after she said her friends who are mothers &ldquo;are in hell.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Roan, 27, said on the <em>Call Her Daddy<\/em> podcast episode released last week that most of her friends are married mothers.
