I just don't understand the Ukrainians. Stalin tried to kill them all in the holodomor ("murder-famine") in which millions of Ukrainians were deliberately starved to death; then Hitler tried to kill them all with his racial-terror-war polices; they survived all that, and now they're willingly killing their own kids??!
It is just too pathetic for words. The pro-abort feminists must be deathly sick in their minds. God bless the Churches (Catholic and Orthodox) for trying to save the little Uktainian children. They need prayers and help.

All too true.
My read is that we don't understand the Ukranians because we don't really know them. With all the blockage, so to speak, from all the media, here and there, who can figure anything out?
I know that the rest of the world can't POSSIBLY know much truth about US because of the layers of media interference. Traveling to places is the best thing so that THEY can see ME, as least, and know that some Americans aren't ALL like the media demonizing.

My read is that MOST Ukranians WANT their babies, keep them and are good Christians...and that most of this crap is media hype. I recognize the language of hype.

Unfortunately, the statistics do not support that contention. Ukraine's birthrate is in the running for lowest-lowest on earth, in the 1.2 range.

This is a list of reports about Ukraine on Human Life International's website. Look at Item 9 in particular; the URL was too long to copy. (I don't know why it didn't hotlink, either.)

CM — your hopes are mostly true. The drop in population in the Ukraine is due to immigration largely as Ukraine is very, very poor. These topless protesters get in the news as they are quite pretty and, well, topless...
