If we don’t get this right, nothing else matters.

Abortion Pill May Impact U.S. Fertility through Drinking Water – The Washington Stand 6/26/2025 https://washingtonstand.com/news/abortion-pill-may-impact-us-fertility-through-drinking-water-25-congressmen-warn

“Dozens of members of Congress have warned that the most common method of abortion in America may not just kill unborn babies and harm their mothers, it may also pollute America’s drinking water with forever chemicals that could impact declining fertility levels.”

America’s Birth Rate Sparks Fears for the Economy – Newsweek 6/21 https://www.newsweek.com/america-birth-rate-usa-economic-fears-gdp-2050754

“’One of the main reasons people worry about a decline in fertility is because it makes it more difficult to sustain social programs like Social Security, when you have many fewer workers for each beneficiary,’ Kasey Buckles, an economics professor at the University of Notre Dame, told Newsweek. ‘The worker-to-retiree ratio was around five in 1960, but is now about half that, and is projected to continue to fall.’”

Trump Administration Attacks China and UN Population Control Agency — Center for Family and Human Rights 6/6  https://c-fam.org/friday_fax/trump-admin-attacks-china-and-un-population-control-agency/

“A U.S. statement at the executive board of the UN population agency this week explained that the administration’s decision to withhold funding to the agency was due to UNFPA’s continued involvement with the Chinese government’s population control programs. ‘For decades, the United States has called on UNFPA to end its partnership with the Chinese government agency responsible for implementing coercive policies,’ the statement explained.”

South Korea Issues Update on Birth Rtae Crisis – Newsweek June 26

“South Korea recorded 20,717 births in April, an 8.7 percent increase over the same month last year and the largest year-on-year jump in births since 1991.

Park Hyun-jung, director of population trends at Statistics Korea, credited the rebound to a sustained rise in the number of marriages, which climbed for the 13th consecutive month to reach 18,921.

Despite the surge in births, deaths in April totaled 28,785, up 0.8 percent from a year earlier, resulting in a net population decline of 8,067.

South Korea has seen more deaths than births each quarter since late 2019, and last year joined Japan as a ‘super-aged” society, with more than 20 percent of the population now over 65.”
