There are many nations experiencing this replacement problem. Between infertility and abortion (the former sometimes caused by the latter), many countries will not have the workers, military, or brain-power needed to sustain themselves.

For example, did you know that Russia is running out of Russians? That country has a death rate which is twice as high as its birth rate. This means they are literally shrinking by a few thousand people a day. While that is startling enough, it was revealed in a 2001 ABCnews.com article that “about 70 percent of all pregnancies since 1994 ended in abortion. Partly because of the lasting health effects an abortion can have on a woman’s body, one in five Russian couples is infertile.”

(The article I refer to was, I am convinced, a momentary slip by a liberal newsource in reporting the facts about one of the many ways abortion hurts women.)

And no one wants to move to Russia. You don't see any illegal aliens trying to sneak in, do you? It's freezing up there.

Yes.

And nature abhors a vacuum.

Expect serious trouble for Russia over the next several decades from an expansionist China which sees wide open depopulated spaces to its northeast ready and waiting for colonization.

You seem to have forgotten the most significant factor.

I would assume that since so many Russians are showing up here that their numbers are decreasing over there. How do you know if Russians have moved next door? A clue is if their dog is named Natasha. Can't tell by their English, which is often above average for Americans.

One of the worst consequences of all this low fertility will be an explosion of Islam. Especially in Russia.
