A note from PRI President Steven Mosher:
“Charlie Kirk was many things. He was a patriot who was not afraid to speak the truth. He was a bridge to the younger generations. And most importantly, for us at PRI, he was an unapologetic voice for the unborn.
We are praying for the Lord to comfort his family and friends, and to heal our nation.
‘He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.’ (Psalm 147:3)”
PRI in the Media
China’s Collapse Looms: This week, PRI President Steven Mosher appeared in The Epoch Times to analyze the mounting crisis inside Communist China. While some criticize President Trump for not pushing harder on tariffs, Mr. Mosher explained that Beijing is already buckling under economic and political pressure. China’s export sector is stalling, businesses are failing, wages are going unpaid, and elites are sending their wealth overseas to safe havens like America and Australia. Mr. Mosher explained that the CCP’s dream of world domination has become a nightmare. The CCP sought to destabilize the world, stretching America thin with endless conflicts, but President Trump has blocked its strategy at every turn. China has already “hit the wall”—the only question is when it will give way.
Deepening Depopulation
Korea’s Birth Rate Collapse: South Korea faces a looming population crisis as marriages and births plummet. Newly released data show marriages have fallen nearly 44% since 1995, while annual births dropped from 715,000 to just 238,000 in 2024, only one-third of their former level. The fertility rate stands at a shocking 0.75 children per woman, the lowest in the world. With one in five South Koreans already over 65, the country risks economic decline and social strain. Despite billions in subsidies, housing perks, and parental leave programs, government efforts have failed to reverse the decades-long collapse in family formation.
Deaths Surpass Births in France: For the first time in 80 years, France recorded more deaths than births in 2024—651,000 deaths versus 650,000 births—marking a historic demographic turning point. Declining fertility since 2010 and rising deaths as baby boomers age have pushed the nation into natural population decline. Unlike Germany and Spain, which offset losses more through immigration, France has no clear strategy. With fertility falling across Europe and immigration debates intensifying, France faces a future of economic strain, cultural uncertainty, and a population now shrinking from within.
“France has long paid subsidies to families willing to have children,” says Mr. Mosher. “But these monthly payments have done little to raise the birth rate in France or, for that matter, in any of the two dozen or so European countries which have tried them. Only sheltering young couples willing to have children from all taxes will create the kind of financial incentives needed to boost the birth rate. Bringing in massive numbers of immigrants to replace the current population—which seems to be the French approach—is a ‘solution’ that creates more problems—cultural, social, political and religious—than it solves.”
Push to Raise US Births: The Heritage Foundation is preparing to release a bold new policy paper, We Must Save the American Family, calling for what it terms a “Manhattan Project to restore the nuclear family.” With U.S. fertility projected to remain at just 1.6 births per woman for the next three decades, Heritage is urging the Trump administration to prioritize marriage and childbearing in every policy decision. Proposals include family savings accounts, redirecting childcare funds to parents, and eliminating policies that undermine marriage. Rejecting IVF and surrogacy as false solutions, Heritage insists the answer to loneliness and demographic decline “must begin with marriage.”
UN Misdeeds
U.S. Slams UNICEF Over Abortion: At the UN, the U.S. broke with tradition by refusing to endorse UNICEF’s new 2026–2029 Strategic Plan, citing its promotion of abortion, harmful gender ideology, and sexual rights and abortion access for children. U.S. representative Jonathan Shrier urged UNICEF to return to its mission—protecting children through education, health, and family support—while rejecting so-called “sexual and reproductive health and rights.” African nations also voiced concerns, but European and Nordic countries forced the language through. The U.S. reaffirmed: there is no international right to abortion, and children must be protected, not exploited.
Science Gone Mad
Dictators Plot Immortality: At Beijing’s recent Victory Day parade, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping were caught on hot mic speculating about living to at least 150 through organ transplants and biotechnology. “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted…even achieve immortality,” Putin mused. Xi agreed, predicting lifespans could stretch to 150 this century. Both dictators are 72, yet China’s record of forced organ harvesting—especially from persecuted minorities like the Uyghurs—casts a dark shadow over such ambitions. Their talk of “immortality” exposes not progress, but a chilling disregard for human dignity in the service of power.
“No matter how many years they are able to extend their lives by forced organ harvesting, they will eventually meet their Maker.” says Mr. Mosher. “I suspect that He will not be happy with their cannibalism.”
Pro-Life Around the World
Morning Sickness Crisis Drives Abortions: A new Australian study reveals the staggering toll of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG), an extreme form of morning sickness too often dismissed or underestimated. Surveying 289 women, researchers found 54% had considered abortion due to relentless nausea and vomiting, while 90% said they considered avoiding future pregnancies. 37% requested early induction to escape their suffering. Many reported anxiety and depression, yet treatments often fail. HG’s crushing impact shows how urgently women need better support, true compassion, and dignified care—never abortion—as they carry the gift of new life.
Canada’s Euthanasia Nightmare: Canada’s “medical aid in dying” (MAID) program has spiraled, and all safeguards have collapsed. Once claiming their assisted suicide laws were limited to terminally ill adults, it now accounts for 1 in 20 Canadian deaths, over 15,000 in 2023 alone. Investigations have revealed cases where patients sought death not from untreatable illness, but from lack of care or social support. In one case, a veteran was offered euthanasia instead of a wheelchair lift. The lesson is clear: when legalized, “assisted suicide” safeguards collapse, and doctors become executioners rather than healers.
Doctor Condemns Assisted Suicide: A Canadian physician has spoken out against the country’s radical assisted suicide regime after discovering a former patient had been killed through assisted suicide. Dr. Jeremy Bannon recounted apologizing to the woman’s brother, telling him, “I’m sorry my colleague killed your sister.” He condemned MAID as a grave violation of medical ethics. Since legalization in 2016, euthanasia in Canada has expanded to include the poor, disabled, homeless, and mentally ill, exposing society’s growing disregard for its most vulnerable.
Pro-Life on the Home Front
FDA Reviewing Abortion Pill: This week, HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed before the Senate Finance Committee that the FDA is actively reviewing mifepristone after alarming new safety data. Mifepristone is the drug responsible for over half of U.S. abortions. Studies show women face serious or life-threatening complications 22 times more often than FDA labels admit, with 83% of ER visits miscoded as “miscarriages.” Kennedy pledged to prevent further data manipulation and called the review a “top priority.”
“After the debacle of the Covid pandemic and vaccine, Americans have woken up to the fact that the medical establishment is largely driven by greed and ideology, not by concern for either the patient or for truth,” says Mr. Mosher. “Planned Parenthood promotes the abortion pill, young girls order them online, and ERs cover up the life-threatening hemorrhages that follow by misclassifying them as ‘miscarriages.’ This must stop.”
Preacher Sued for Pro-Life Protest: The state of Maine is suing Christian preacher John Andrade Jr. of Brunswick, accusing him of violating the Maine Civil Rights Act for preaching and playing worship music outside a Portland Planned Parenthood. Andrade, who regularly shares the Gospel and pro-life message outside the clinic, says the lawsuit is not about “noise” but about silencing the truth that abortion kills babies. Despite no charges of blocking entrances and video evidence to the contrary, Andrade now faces up to $60,000 in fines.
Abortion Industry Demands Transparency: The pro-abortion Center for Reproductive Rights (CFRR) has filed a lawsuit against the FDA and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), demanding documents on the abortion pill review, which is currently underway. CFRR claims a “statutory right” to records yet ignores the decades of secrecy surrounding mifepristone’s approval. Meanwhile, new studies show that 1 in 10 women suffer serious complications from abortion pills. While CFRR sues for transparency, they remain silent about the abortion industry’s long history of concealment and deception surrounding this deadly drug.
Judge Protects Religious Freedom: A federal judge has shielded Catholic bishops and institutions from a Biden-era rule that would have forced them to accommodate abortion, contraception, sterilization, IVF, and surrogacy in violation of their faith. Judge David Joseph ruled that the EEOC’s interpretation of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act overstepped congressional intent and trampled religious freedom. The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, representing the bishops, hailed the decision as a landmark victory affirming that federal agencies cannot coerce believers into betraying their convictions.
Good News
Pro-Life Pressure Halts Clinic: A notorious late-term abortion facility in Washington D.C. has reportedly suspended operations following a pro-life campaign to shut down the facility. Survivors of the Abortion Holocaust announced that the Washington Surgi-Clinic, long accused of illegal abortion practices, has “halted appointments” after the group filed a complaint with the city’s medical board, highlighting numerous lawsuits and allegations against abortionist Cesare Santangelo. The clinic confirmed it is “not currently taking appointments” and, according to the press, Santangelo has not been seen at the facility in over three weeks. This suspension is proof that persistence can bring abortionists to account.
