I am not convinced that fertility rate issues can be solved with the spiritual strength Solzhenitsyn mentions.
The once strongly above 2.1 TFRs seen in religious nations are disappearing. I think some of our planets foundational political structures will be altered to fix this. Perhaps democracy will not be one person one vote. And on the totalitarian side we already say that governments can take a percentage of our income in the form of taxes, why won’t they say they can take some of a woman’s eggs as a form of taxes?
We grimaced, like how the heck would she know?
Then she said that abortion would lead to childlessness, the breakdown of marriages and families, homosexuality, euthanasia and societal breakdown.
Now, of course, we can see that she was prescient way beyond her years.
The only way back is a return to faith and the values Our Lord has given us.
My pleasure!
Murder in your bedroom, is not allowed. The state may allow it but God does not.
I think that if the nations would merely enforce God’s laws, these problems would resolve quickly.
Fertility rates are not dropping. Abortion and contraception are ramping. God does His part. Man does his. It’s the murderous woman doing her part that is dropping the number of babies born.
Most of the time, abortion vs contraception is a distinction without a difference. I guess with abortifacients, ignorance of the number of victims is bliss.
