In This Issue: The Congressional Budget Office now projects that U.S. deaths will outnumber births by 2030, a decade earlier than previously expected—a trend that will only worsen in the decades ahead. Future U.S. population growth will increasingly rely on immigration.
In This Issue: France’s National Assembly has approved a controversial bill that would legalize assisted suicide for certain patients with terminal or incurable illnesses. The measure passed in a 299–226 vote and will now return to the French Senate for further consideration. Under the proposal, eligible patients must be adult French citizens suffering from an incurable illness, experiencing pain that cannot be relieved, and deemed mentally competent.
In This Issue: South Korea recorded its largest rise in births in nearly two decades, with 254,500 babies born in 2025. This was a 6.8% increase from the previous year. The total fertility rate rose from 0.75 to 0.80, marking two consecutive years of growth after nearly a decade of steady decline.
In This Issue: A new report from the Center for Family and Human Rights details Denmark’s abuse of women through coercive population-control policies. Hundreds of Greenlandic women and girls were forcibly sterilized through IUD insertion and hormonal injections, with cases spanning from the 1960s into the 1990s. Victims suffered lasting injuries and infertility.
In This Issue: The Trump administration announced it is ending all NIH funding for research using tissue from aborted babies, effective immediately. The policy applies across all NIH grants and programs, expanding on Trump’s first-term ban on intramural fetal tissue research.

In This Issue: Taiwan has broken the record for world’s lowest birth rate, according to newly released government data. Births fell for the 10th consecutive year, with just 107,812 newborns in 2025, a 20% drop from 2024. Taiwan’s birth rate stands at 4.62 per 1,000 people, with its total fertility rate estimated at around 0.72, despite recent government subsidies aimed at boosting births.
In This Issue: President Trump sparked backlash from pro-life leaders after urging House Republicans to be “flexible” on the Hyde Amendment, the 1976 provision barring most federal abortion funding, including through Medicaid. The remarks drew swift criticism from pro-life groups and lawmakers who warned that Hyde is a non-negotiable principle.
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: Northern Ireland recorded a tragic 2,899 abortions from April 2024 to March 2025—the highest ever—marking a 3.7% rise from last year and an 84% increase since 2021. Late-term abortions more than doubled to 154 (a 103% jump), and disability-selective abortions rose 19%. Abortions among girls under 18 have climbed 61% since 2021.
In This Issue: PRI’s Latin American office is proud to report that the Peruvian Congress has passed a new law on equal opportunity between men and women that respects the biological reality that there are only two sexes. This is a huge victory for Peru and for PRI, which provided the intellectual “muscle” behind this effort. The new law throws out the “gender ideology” concept that was forced on Peru by Obama’s USAID and which has been the guiding principle of Peruvian governments since 2014.
