PRI Insider (Volume 5, Issue 48) December 19

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. The nonbinding measure passed 358 to 202 and would override national protections by encouraging abortion tourism across member states. The scheme undermines national sovereignty, parental protections, and Europe’s Christian moral heritage.

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.

In This Issue: A Scottish Government-commissioned review—led by a former trustee of the UK’s largest abortion provider—is advocating for the scrapping of Scotland’s 24-week abortion limit. This would allow abortions on “social grounds,” including sex-selective abortions, up to birth. In 2024, 98% of Scotland’s 18,710 abortions were performed under a clause interpreted to allow abortion for social reasons.

In This Issue: Switzerland’s fertility rate has fallen to 1.29 children per woman, the lowest level since records began, according to new data from the Federal Statistical Office. Births of third children fell 13.6% in 2024, while first and second births have declined 8.5% and 9% respectively since 2019. Women aged 35–39 now give birth more often than those aged 25–29, reflecting delayed family formation.

In This Issue: New Zealand government data has revealed that babies are regularly surviving abortion attempts and then being left to die. Family First obtained official records showing that at least 80 abortions since 2020 resulted in live births, meaning babies between 20–30 weeks were born alive but denied medical care.

In This Issue: According to a new report from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Australia’s fertility rate has fallen to a record low of 1.48 births per woman in 2024, sparking warnings that the nation is nearing a “point of no return.” Women aged 30–34 recorded the highest fertility rate—106 births per 1,000 women, a slight rise from the previous year.

In This Issue: Denmark has formally apologized for decades of secretly inserting intrauterine devices (IUDs) into Greenlandic women and girls—some as young as 12—without their knowledge or consent. Between the late 1960s and early 1990s, over 4,000 were subjected to the program, part of a population-control push to suppress Inuit birth rates. Victims later faced infertility, trauma, and lifelong health complications.

In This Issue: Marriage, once the cornerstone of adulthood, has become a “capstone” reserved for the financially secure.  Census data show the median age for first marriage has climbed to 30 for men and 29 for women—up from 28 and 26 just 15 years ago. Between 2008 and 2023, first-marriage rates among 22–45-year-olds dropped 9%, with the steepest declines among the less educated and lower-income.

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.

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.
