Meet FP2030: the global initiative powered by foreign aid, billionaire philanthropy, and policy pressure, all aimed at driving down fertility, particularly among the world’s poorest nations and peoples. That’s not how it’s advertised. FP2030 is being marketed as a “rights-based, empowering, and voluntary” program. It comes packaged with
In This Issue: Congress has launched a sweeping investigation into Planned Parenthood’s use of nearly $800 million in federal funding, citing alarming allegations involving abortions, organ harvesting, and gender transitions for minors. The abortion giant has a history of fraud, including a $4.3 million Medicaid settlement in 2013 and a $1.8 billion lawsuit from Texas in 2023.
U.S. government agencies have never engaged in open coercion to force down the birth rate, at least within the borders of the United States. (USAID’s past actions overseas are another matter.) We are, after all, not China. There, the birth control police hunted down women
In This Issue: A new peer-reviewed article from the Charlotte Lozier Institute exposes how Planned Parenthood and abortion drugs have driven a nearly 20% rise in U.S. abortions from 2017 to 2023, reversing decades of decline. Planned Parenthood now performs 40% of all abortions (up from 14% in 1999) shifting abortion into a high-volume, supply-driven business.

In This Issue: Japan is grappling with record low birthrates, a devastating 5.7% drop in 2024, as it continues its 16th straight year of decline. Japan, as well as many other East Asian countries, has a population that is rapidly and continually shrinking. In response to this “silent emergency,” Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has promised to offer a helping hand to married couples by promoting a flexible working environment so they can better balance work and parenting.
The departure of the activist ideologue, Archbishop Paglia, from the Pontifical Academy of Life, is very good news. Why, you ask? To answer that question, we have to look at why the Pontifical Academy for Life was founded and just how far Paglia strayed from
In This Issue: A recent study based on Czech national health data, revealed substantially lower conception rates among vaccinated women between the ages of 18–39, compared to their unvaccinated peers. The analysis, led by Danish researcher Dr. Vibeke Manniche, found that between 2021 and 2022, unvaccinated women were considerably more likely to conceive a child.
People are parsing every word uttered by the new Pope, Leo XIV, eager to see if he will preach the fullness of the Catholic faith, without compromise or confusion. As the leader of a pro-life, pro-family group, Population Research Institute, which has worked closely with
