For every three conceptions in UK: one girl, one boy, one abortion. Birth rates have dropped so significantly that our natural population is projected to halve within two generations. Increasingly, young women are delaying motherhood; half remain childless by age 30. Women who are childless at 30 face a 50% chance of remaining childless by... Continue Reading →
Ratio of abortions to live births
On 17 November 2025, Philip Pilkington, an economist and senior researcher at the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs, posted a thread on X in which he said “Britain is in a phase of self-euthanisation.” [i] He shared some data analysis, including mine,[ii] showing that in 2024 one-third of all viable pregnancies ended in abortion. He... Continue Reading →
Abortion and childlessness
In the next two generations, our natural population is projected to halve, a decline driven largely by increasing childlessness. Current projections suggest that more than 25% of women reaching age 45 in the next 20 years, will do so without having children, and abortion plays a role in about half of these cases. Demographers have... Continue Reading →
The Real Fertility Crisis: wanting, not just affording, children
The numbers from the Office for National Statistics could not be clearer: England and Wales are falling short of replacement-level births, with maternities sliding year after year while abortions climb to nearly a third of all conceptions. On paper, the “missing” births are more than accounted for by abortions—but the idea that banning abortion could... Continue Reading →
Abortion eclipses a public health triumph
In 1800, roughly one in three children died before their fifth birthday, reflecting an under-five mortality rate (U5MR) of 329 deaths per 1,000 live births. Faced with such high child mortality, women had just under six children on average to ensure that some survived to adulthood—a stark contrast to today’s average of just 1.45. Throughout...

Lord Brooke, in the House of Lords, celebrates abortion by asking us to consider how much more our global population might have grown without it, he speaks of abortion as a societal good in controlling population growth. Abortion today is killing one-in-three of our future humanity. In the last 25 years in E&W, we have... Continue Reading →
Bye-bye baby...I remember when we worried about there being too many people, worried about population explosion. Now look at that red line on the latest UN projections. I'm reading that this will be the first time our global population will be in decline since the 14th century, when the Black Death wiped out perhaps a... Continue Reading →
Childlessness at 30 is not always unplanned
An increasing proportion of women reaching their 30s, are doing so childless. I agree with demographers and commentators that this is the critical factor in our declining fertility rate but contend that we cannot / should not discuss these falling birth rates without signposting the impact of abortion. In August 2025, the Office for National... Continue Reading →
Generational impact of abortion as birth control
Is abortion being used as birth control and could it be a critical enabler of our below-replacement birth rates; in just two generations our population will reduce by 40%: 100 adults, 77 children, 59 grandchildren. In 2022, the most recent year in which we have official data for the whole of the UK, there were... Continue Reading →
Live births and abortions – 55 years of data
We are missing a critical factor when we discuss the increasing decline in fertility and do not consider or address the impact of abortion. Data from the ONS show us quite clearly that the ‘gap’ between live births and the total needed for replacement has generally been less than the number of abortions. That said,... Continue Reading →
The Demographic Trilemma and Baby Bust
Britain is facing a “baby bust”, we are not having enough children and unless we fix this our country will need significantly higher immigration or suffer economic ruin. This is the stark message being delivered by Miriam Cates MP and her colleagues at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship – and they are not wrong. In... Continue Reading →
Double impact of immigration on population
Immigration has a double impact on our overall population total and without this our population would be in decline. Using data published by the Office for National Statistics (ONS),[i] we find the following: The population of England and Wales has increased from 52 million in the year 2000, to 60 million in 2022. This is... Continue Reading →

The Critic
Half of all Generation Z Pregnancies now end in Abortion.
Official data show an increasing year-on-year trend in young women and girls delaying their first childbirth. Whilst changes in sexual relationships and use of contraception are factors influencing this, we note that in 2022, half of all viable pregnancies for Generation Z ended in elective abortion. This more recent post verifies that in 2022, for... Continue Reading →
UK Birthed Baby Shortage.
It has recently become clear that the UK’s birth rate is in decline, raising concerns about future economic, social, and political impact. There are many factors driving this trend, the whys, that other posts will address; the following addresses the ‘how’, concluding that we are facing a UK birthed baby shortage that is driven by...

Fall in Annual Births is due to Abortion.
Data published by the Office of National Statistics, show clearly that the increasing gap between conceptions and births is due to the increasing number of abortions. The ONS notes: "Prior to 1969, the first full year for which abortions data were available, the number of conceptions was equivalent to the number of births." Source: Office... Continue Reading →
The impact of abortion on global population growth
Summary I think we must consider the impact of abortion when discussing future population growth. Based on current data and the UN projected rates, the availability of abortion choice reduces population growth over the next eighty years by 43%, enabling the projected 11.2b rather than 16b, a reduction of 4.8 billion. Discussion Our global population... Continue Reading →
