In This Issue: New data from Ireland’s Health Service Executive shows 108 babies were born alive after failed abortions between 2019 and 2023, only to die shortly afterward. The most recent figures report 29 such deaths in 2023. At least four of the babies were more than 24 weeks gestation and/or weighed over 500 grams, meaning they would have been able to survive outside the womb; how these babies died or whether they received medical care has not been disclosed.

In This Issue: South Korea’s demographic crisis sparked controversy after Jindo county governor Kim Hee-soo suggested “importing” young women from countries such as Vietnam or Sri Lanka to marry rural Korean men to help raise the birth rate. With fertility at just 0.75—far below replacement—and projections showing the population could fall from 52 million to 26.8 million by 2100, lawmakers are scrambling for solutions.

In This Issue: New research from the Institute for Family Studies finds a widening divide in marriage and childbearing, with liberal young adults increasingly less likely to form families. The analysis shows that even liberal adults report higher happiness when married with children, yet family formation is declining fastest on the Left. The trend has demographic consequences: Since 2000, states that voted for Donald Trump in 2024 have seen their child population rise about 7%, while states that voted for Kamala Harris have seen theirs fall by roughly 7%.

In This Issue: The European Parliament has voted to advance a proposal that would use EU taxpayer funds to pay for abortions abroad for women from countries with pro-life laws, including Poland and Malta.

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.
