PRI Insider (Volume 5, Issue 46) December 5

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: The FDA, under Trump appointee Dr. Marty Makary, has approved new generic abortion pills made by Evita Solution, a company that openly seeks to “normalize abortion” and make it “accessible to all.” Despite promises of a full safety review of the chemical abortion drug, the FDA instead fast-tracked approval, prompting outrage from U.S. Sen. Josh Hawley.

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: Greece is shuttering 766 schools—over 5% of the nation’s total—after plunging fertility has left classrooms empty.

In just seven years, the number of primary students has fallen by 111,000, a 19% drop.

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. Declining fertility since 2010 and rising deaths as baby boomers age have pushed the nation into natural population decline. Unlike Germany and Spain, which offset losses more through immigration, France has no clear strategy.

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.
