In This Issue: Most of the world already has below-replacement birthrates. By the 2080s, the global population is projected to decline, and if each generation averages just 1.5 children per two adults, the population could shrink by 66% every century. Overpopulation fears were once focused on famine and scarcity and echoed by thinkers like Malthus and Ehrlich.
A significant demographic shift is taking place in the U.S. over the past 20 years, with 21 states recording more deaths than births in 2022, and all 50 states experiencing a decline in fertility rates between 2005 and 2023. During that period, the national fertility rate fell 18.4%, dropping from 66.7 to 54.4 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44, according to LendingTree.
In This Issue: Congress has launched a sweeping investigation into Planned Parenthood’s use of nearly $800 million in federal funding, citing alarming allegations involving abortions, organ harvesting, and gender transitions for minors. The abortion giant has a history of fraud, including a $4.3 million Medicaid settlement in 2013 and a $1.8 billion lawsuit from Texas in 2023.
In This Issue: A new peer-reviewed article from the Charlotte Lozier Institute exposes how Planned Parenthood and abortion drugs have driven a nearly 20% rise in U.S. abortions from 2017 to 2023, reversing decades of decline. Planned Parenthood now performs 40% of all abortions (up from 14% in 1999) shifting abortion into a high-volume, supply-driven business.
In This Issue: A recent study based on Czech national health data, revealed substantially lower conception rates among vaccinated women between the ages of 18–39, compared to their unvaccinated peers. The analysis, led by Danish researcher Dr. Vibeke Manniche, found that between 2021 and 2022, unvaccinated women were considerably more likely to conceive a child.
In This Issue: A new study suggests that Pope John Paul II’s visits to Latin America between 1979 and 1996 contributed to a significant increase in fertility rates. During his visits to 16 countries, Pope John Paul II emphasized the importance of marriage and family, reinforcing these values. These messages caused a measurable rise in these countries’ birth rates, resulting in an estimated quarter-million additional births.
In This Issue: Planned Parenthood faces the potential loss of part of its federal funding, not due to its mass murder of the unborn, but because of concerns that taxpayer dollars may have been used to fund Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The Trump administration plans to freeze a number of family planning grants, including Planned Parenthood’s.
In This Issue: In a rare moment of honesty, Planned Parenthood recently acknowledged the dangers of abortion pills. Casi Scully, a Planned Parenthood associate medical director, admitted that unregulated abortion pills can lead to serious complications like bleeding and infection.
In This Issue: PRI President Steven Mosher celebrates the shutdown of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) as a monumental victory for American taxpayers and the country’s values. The closure will save $54 billion annually and ends a long-standing history of misused taxpayer funds, including reckless spending on woke ideologies such as funding LGBT activism, promoting transgender surgeries, and advancing gender and diversity initiatives globally.
