Spotlighting important information gleaned from other pro-life blogs…
… new research has produced the first glimmer of hope that economic prosperity may not be linked to an inexorable decline in fertility. The new analysis has found that in many countries, once a nation achieves an especially high level of development, women appear to start having more babies again.
Furthermore, the article acknowledges the oft-denied fact that many countries are in need of higher fertility rates. While overpopulationists would have us believe that the world is already overcrowded, the article plainly states that the fertility rates in many highly developed countries will not sustain necessary population growth. Perhaps secular culture is beginning to see the light.
- Their successes give you reason to feel proud, if not because you helped, then because they are related.
- Nothing smells better than freshly washed kids.

A July 31 Gallup poll found that just 20% of Americans aged 65 and older believe health care reform would improve their own situation, noticeably lower than the 27% of 18- to 49-year olds and 26% of 50 to 64-year olds who say the same.
Clearly, the over 65 population isn’t going to let this one go without a fight, as the article states they are packing town hall sessions with their representatives.

What a self-centered twit. I can’t believe the woman has 2 children herself.
Lifestyle not Healthcare is the difference
The people in Europe and other parts of the world are healthier than we Americans. It has nothing to do with their Healthcare systems. That’s one reason government run health won’t work as well here. You don’t have people in those countries being stabbed and shot, snorting meth, smoking crack and over-indulging on fast-food. Or open borders…

Actually, having lived in such countries, I can accurately state, from firsthand experience, that everything you just said is an outright lie.
I wasn’t talking about third world countries.
When people are talking about healthcare they are
comparing us to Sweden,Norway, Switzerland, Germany, Canada the Netherlands etc.
It’s interesting to note that in the late ’50’s
before Castro took over Cuba, that nation was
13th best in infant mortality rates. It is now
44th. But of course, Cuba is a third world country.
Sure, US residents are healthier than Haitians
Somalians and Bulgarians(at least I hope we are)
but I would like something more substantial to contend with you over, not just your “firsthand experience” whatever that may or may not be worth.
George, those other countries also don’t usually have massive amounts of people who happen to be themselves from 3rd world countries skewing the data. We do. And, as long as they are here legally, I’m proud of that. I’m also glad legal immigrants have the freedom to get the type of quality care they do here in the states.
Look, I’m not xenophobic. Just yesterday I was talking to a refugee feom Vietnam who I happen to be friends with.
But this person didn’t just walk across the border.
I feel for these people who come here looking for work. From a human-being perpective I have nothing against them at all.
But people just walking across the border…(criminals included)?
Not even the Vatican state has an open-border policy.
