In This Issue: Greece is shuttering 766 schools—over 5% of the nation’s total—after plunging fertility has left classrooms empty. Primary schools took the hardest hit, with closures rising from 247 in 2018–2019 to 324 this year, while kindergartens jumped from 312 to 358. In just seven years, the number of primary students has fallen by 111,000, a 19% drop.
Pope Leo XIV is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’ with a whole series of events in the coming months. Already, on September 5, 2025, he announced that the historic papal residence in Castel Gandolfo is henceforth to be known the “village” of “Borgo Laudato Si’,” supposedly bringing
As all of America knows by now, Charlie Kirk, founder and president of Turning Point USA, was assassinated on September 10th. Over the course of his career, 31-year-old Charlie changed countless minds. “Charlie Kirk was many things,” said PRI President Steven Mosher. “He was a
In This Issue: 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.
In June, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. While I’ve been learning many lessons in being a mother to this precious little life, I’ve also gained a whole new perspective on the pro-life, pro-family work that we do at PRI. And now I
In This Issue: A 19-year-old woman from Ontario died just 10 days after taking the abortion pill, after going into septic shock. Despite repeated ER visits for severe pain and bleeding, doctors failed to recognize her life-threatening infection until it was too late. Hospital staff begged to have the woman transferred to the ICU, but doctors refused. She died after going into multiorgan failure and multiple cardiac arrests.
Last year, the Lepanto Institute and Population Research Institute conducted a joint year-long investigation of Catholic Relief Services activities in three African countries: Cameroon, Zimbabwe, and Lesotho. We discovered that CRS was pushing pornographic sex education, condoms, and abortifacient contraceptives on minor girls. CRS denied
In This Issue: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has signed a series of sweeping pro-abortion bills, further cementing the state as one of the most radical abortion havens in America. One new law ensures abortion pills remain legal in Illinois as long as they are approved by the World Health Organization—even if the FDA revokes U.S. approval. Another mandates that public colleges and universities distribute abortion pills on campus, encouraging young women to undergo chemical abortions alone in dorm rooms without physician oversight.
Today, it is no longer enough to speak of the “international abortion industry” or the “global abortion lobby.” The situation has evolved. Today we are fighting very sophisticated, highly organized, and very, very deadly international “abortion networks.” And we in the pro-life movement have to
In This Issue: Pew Research Center’s new analysis of U.N. data shows births to women under 25 are plummeting worldwide. In North America, they’ve fallen from 45% in 1950 to 23% today and are projected to drop to 12% by 2100. Europe will fall from 35% in 1950 to just 9%. Latin America and the Caribbean will decline from 39% today to 17%.
