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.

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.

Unlike Germany and Spain, which offset losses more through immigration, France has no clear strategy.

In This Issue: A 19-year-old woman from Ontario died just 10 days after taking the abortion pill, after going into septic shock.
