I've conducted a non-scientific, face value study in my city and adjoining military base after the sabotage of a paper from the county health office with regional birth statistcs and demographics and my own observation. The overwhelming majority of people (73%) with more than 3 kids were on welfare, food stamps and various other types of government assistance. Average income as less than $32,000 per year. Level of education: 42% of mothers or fathers were high school dropouts.
Then it seems the more educated have fewer kids, about 1.5 less actually was the mean (on average 1 or 2 kids). They made more money on average however, and the percentage on public assistance was about 19%.
I myself am sub-fertile, college educated, and together my husband and I make a nice combined yearly income. It seems per my general observation that many people in my area having babies are unable to care for them and are generally ghetto and ignorant.
Is God weeding us out?

We are letting the less educated outnumber us. I know that in the US (where I'm presuming you are coming from) the democrats are a dying breed. They breed less, and the republicans have children which tend to vote the same as their parents. I don't know if you're a democrat, and I have no proof that democrats are more intelligent than Republicans, but it does seem to match up with your observations, interestingly enough.
I wish I had some good links for you. I find this interesting though.

What has God got to do with it? The rich get rich and the poor get kids. And the more intelligent you are, if your mentally stable, the father you will go in life. God has nothing to do with this. You can not set up a cast system in the US to justify the abuse and neglect of your less fortunate neighbors.

wow... that was a lot of nonsense
less education = less educated ~ less educated about life in general
more education = more educated ~ able to make decisions based on their knowledge.
Do I need to break it down more for you?

You'd like to think you're superior to them due to social status, but this simply proves you lack old-fashioned manners and compassion for others. God isn't in on this.

I'd say that the intelligent are weeding themselves out by their own choices and self-centeredness.

No we're weeding ourselves out. Just like global warming . . . .
