I've been told that part of the explosion of Amish is that more than ever are coming back from Rumspringa than before.
Their actual fertility hasn't changed any - what's changed is that since the 80s the outside world has become more phone-obsessed zombies. We've crossed some sort of technological Rubicon where our technology has become less appealing to primitive people.
