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: 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: 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: Greece is shuttering 766 schools—over 5% of the nation’s total—after plunging fertility has left classrooms empty. Primary schools took the hardest hit, with closures rising from 247 in 2018–2019 to 324 this year, while kindergartens jumped from 312 to 358. In just seven years, the number of primary students has fallen by 111,000, a 19% drop.
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.
In This Issue: New data from the National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the CDC, shows that while the number of U.S. births rose slightly in 2024 to 3.63 million, the overall fertility rate continued to fall—from 54.5 to 53.8 births per 1,000 women aged 15–44. Birth rates dropped across all younger age groups: teens (down 4%), women in their 20s (down 2–3%), and women in their early 30s (down 1%).
In This Issue: Global fertility continues to slide, with Latin America and the Caribbean—once known for large families—now seeing steep, unexpected drops. Births in the past decade have fallen sharply across the region: Uruguay down 34%, Argentina 32%, Costa Rica 27%, Mexico 24%, Chile and Cuba 21%, Colombia 13%, and Brazil 10%.
In This Issue: In 2022, nearly one in every three pregnancies (29.7%) in England and Wales ended in abortion—a record high and a sharp increase from 26.5% the year before. This surge follows the 2020 introduction of at-home abortion pills. The total number of abortions reached 247,703, marking a 13% rise from 2021 and a 34% jump since 2012.
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.
