拉丁裔的生育率和生育率已经成为非政治性战争的归零地，不仅仅是语言，还有公共政策和法律。本文建立在一个理论框架，包括分层生殖的问题，其中一些妇女的特点是对社会的生殖威胁。从1965年开始的35年内，对10种全国性杂志上的论述进行了审查，发现了有关拉丁裔生殖威胁的三个相互关联的主题：1）高生育率和人口增长; 2）重新征服;和3）过度使用医疗和其他社会服务。最后一节探讨了从拉丁美洲和盎格鲁妇女在橙子县，加州，生殖和生育能力收集的数据，探讨与拉丁美洲的生殖和生育能力的“真相索赔”的研究结果表明，拉丁美洲不开始性活动在相对较早的年龄，也没有他们相对更多的性伴侣比盎格鲁妇女。大多数拉丁裔人在一生中的某个时候都使用过避孕药。拉丁裔妇女平均生育不到两个孩子。在美国出生或长大的墨西哥裔妇女比成年移民生育的孩子少，她们与盎格鲁裔妇女的差异并不明显。普通最小二乘（OLS）回归发现，年龄，婚姻状况，教育和语言文化适应比种族对理解生育率更重要。
Latina reproduction and fertility have become ground zero in apolitical war-not just of words, but of public policies and laws. This article builds on a theoretical framework that includes issues of stratified reproduction, which characterize some women as reproductive threats to society. From an examination of the discourse found in 10 national magazines over a 35-year period, beginning in 1965, emerge three interrelated themes concerning Latina reproductive threat: 1) high fertility and population growth; 2) reconquest; and 3) overuse of medical and other social services. The final section examines data on reproduction and fertility collected from Latinas and Anglo women in Orange County, California, to explore the "truth claims" associated with Latina reproduction and fertility The findings suggest that Latinas do not begin sexual activities at a relatively early age nor do they have relatively more sexual partners than Anglo women. Most Latinas have used birth control pills at some point in their lives. Latinas generally have fewer than two children per woman. Mexican-origin women born or raised in the Untied States had fewer children than adult immigrants, and their differences from Anglo women were insignificant. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression finds that age, marital status, education, and language acculturation are more important than ethnicity for understanding fertility.
