In This Issue: A growing number of American adults are facing a “kinless” Christmas, with declining marriage and fertility rates leading to more people without spouses or children. For the first time in U.S. history, the share of “kinless” prime-aged adults (18-55), defined as those who are never married and have no children at home, has surpassed those who are married with children.
In This Issue: Pfizer is facing a lawsuit for failing to warn patients that its injectable contraceptive, Depo-Provera, could increase the risk of brain tumors, specifically intracranial meningiomas. The plaintiff of the case claims that regular use of Depo-Provera, which contains a high dose of progestin, led to the development of a brain tumor. This case is part of a growing number of lawsuits against Pfizer, which is facing allegations that it knew or should have known about the risks of brain tumors, cancers, and bone loss associated with the drug, but did not adequately inform patients or doctors.
In This Issue: This election, the pro-life movement saw four victories for life in the states. Citizens in Florida, South Dakota, and Nebraska all rejected the pro-abortion amendments on their ballots. West Virginia also had a victory, as citizens voted for a state constitutional amendment to prevent the legalization of assisted suicide.
In This Issue: Japan’s low birth rate and aging population have had a surprising side effect. In Japan’s cities, homes are being abandoned as their residents pass away with no relatives to fill them. These abandoned homes, known as “akiyas,” are being bought by social media influencers to renovate and sell at a profit. In the rural areas, where the issue of depopulation is even more pronounced, whole towns have been abandoned as the few young people remaining leave for cities.
In This Issue: Kamala Harris has failed to shed light on many of her views or policies in interviews. But it’s clear from her supporters–including abortionists, those who support transgender surgeries for minors, and pornographers–where her priorities may lie in the future. Groups from these three camps have reportedly invested over $100 million to influence a potential Harris-Walz administration.
In This Issue: A new Danish study has found that having an abortion is linked to negative mental health outcomes, challenging a previous study that claimed no increased risk of mental disorders occur after a first-trimester abortion. This research, led by David Reardon from the Elliot Institute, reanalyzed data from a 2011 study over a longer timeframe and revealed that women were 50 percent more likely to seek psychiatric treatment and 87 percent more likely to experience personality and behavioral disorders one year post-abortion.
In This Issue: Recently, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz seemed to deny that sweeping abortion legislation he signed in 2023 allows abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy. This implied denial is false. A Breitbart fact check found the following: “Walz made Minnesota the first in the nation to codify abortion via legislative action after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Minnesota is now one of nine states, including Washington, DC, that has no restrictions on abortion, meaning abortion would technically be legal in the final month of pregnancy.”
In This Issue: After 30 years, China has ended its overseas adoption program in an attempt to bolster its population numbers. Hundreds of American families had Chinese adoptions pending, and are now in limbo. Since 1999, American parents have adopted over 80,000 children from China, making up about 29% of all U.S. overseas adoptions.
The collapse in birth rates that began in post-war Europe has, in the decades since, spread to every single corner of the globe. Many nations are already feeling this death spiral, filling more coffins than cradles each year. Just this past year, Japan lost nearly
