Europe's birth dearth is here (Europe).London--After decades of scaremongering by Planned Parenthood Planned Parenthood A service mark used for an organization that provides family planning services. International, the Population Council in New York New York, state, United States New York, Middle Atlantic state of the United States. It is bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and the Atlantic Ocean (E), New Jersey and Pennsylvania (S), Lakes Erie and Ontario and the Canadian province of , and various United Nations agencies under feminist control, the real truth is slowly gaining ground among governments and civil servants: the birth dearth Birth dearth is a neologism referring to falling fertility rates. In the late 1980s, the term was used in the context of American and European society.[1] The use of the term has since been expanded to include many other industrialized nations. is here to stay. On January 16, Britain's influential daily The Times noted that over the next 25 years, Europe will need 150 million immigrants to keep the economics of aging populations going. In 1998 the European Union European Union (EU), name given since the ratification (Nov., 1993) of the Treaty of European Union, or Maastricht Treaty, to the European Community brought in 800,000 immigrants: 43 per cent from Asia; 23 per cent from Africa; and 10 per cent from Eastern Europe Eastern Europe The countries of eastern Europe, especially those that were allied with the USSR in the Warsaw Pact, which was established in 1955 and dissolved in 1991. . Europe's own births totalled a mere four million babies, barely over one per cent in a population of 350 million people! It is also 0.5 per cent less than in 1998, indicating that the decrease is by no means at an end. In Germany, Italy, and Sweden, deaths already outnumber births; in Austria and Spain the number of deaths equals that of birth; these positions are now being reached by the other members of the Union. Why this population decline? The reasons given by The Times were stress; pollution; an increase in sexually transmitted diseases Sexually transmitted diseases Infections that are acquired and transmitted by sexual contact. Although virtually any infection may be transmitted during intimate contact, the term sexually transmitted disease is restricted to conditions that are largely damaging couples' ability to conceive.... Then, it said, there is the fact that average sperm counts have fallen by almost half since 1938. In addition there is a declining libido libido (lĭbē`dō, –bī`–) [Lat.,=lust], psychoanalytic term used by Sigmund Freud to identify instinctive energy with the sex instinct. among women. Any other reason? None, apparently. A recent article on Spain in the Toronto Star The Toronto Star is Canada's highest-circulation newspaper, though its print edition is distributed almost entirely within Ontario. It is owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd., a division of Star Media Group, a subsidiary of Torstar Corporation. (Feb, 2000) showed a similar pattern. Once renowned for its large families, Spain at a 0.94 birth rate is slightly above Germany (0.93) and Italy at 0.91. Italy holds the world's record for low fertility. (Remember, 2.1 children per 100 inhabitants
The game is based loosely on the concepts from SameGame. is necessary to stand still in population growth.) In this case, sociologists, the Associated Press article said, blame the birth rate decline on everything from economics (high jobless rate, low salaries, lack of housing) to cultural factors such as couch-potato men who don't do diapers or the fact that more women work Outside the home. Another factor is the government's taxation policy which hurts large families. In Spain, child assistance is practically unknown. Any other reason? Again, none is given. A third article, this one by Agence France-Presse on the shrinking population of Russia, appeared in the National Post (Feb 23). Russia is the one country where the actual decline of the population is readily visible. At the end of 1999 its population stood at 145.5 million; that is three million fewer than in 1992. The main reasons given are the poor economic situation, alcohol, the high rate of suicide, emigration emigration: see immigration; migration. and... what do you know...abortion. Comment The article on Russia could not help but mention the unmentionable word: abortion, which The Times and the Associated Press had so carefully strained from their reports in line with similar reports issued by Statistics Canada. The fact is that all European nations are dying nations because abortion and anti-family policies provide a built-in, self-administered genocide. The same is true for Canada. That's why it's obscene for Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs to encourage its feminist clique (mathematics) clique - A maximal totally connected subgraph. Given a graph with nodes N, a clique C is a subset of N where every node in C is directly connected to every other node in C (i.e. C is totally connected), and C contains all such nodes (C is maximal). of delegates at the United Nations to promote the "universal right of abortion" as a mandatory rule for the entire world, to override local or national rules to the contrary. The shamelessness of our government knows no bounds. But when will Canadians realize that Canada, too, is a dying nation? In ten or fifteen years' time we'll have major problems with old age pensions and health care for the elderly, and will possibly face a tax revolt of the shrinking "working" segment of our population. Meanwhile, we are living a kind of unconscious self-destruction--an absence of a desire to grow. The economy is booming, so who cares anyway? The latest statistics for Canada are as follows: from 1990 to 1997, the number of abortions performed in Canada went up almost 24 per cent. Abortion rate in Canada per 100 live births Year Abortions Rate 1990 92,901 23.35% 1991 95,059 23.62% 1992 102,085 25.91% 1993 104,403 25.61% 1994 106,255 27.59% 1995 108,258 28.64% 1996 111,659 30.49% 1997 114,848 32.95% |
