https://www.icenews.is/2024/05/06/abortion-laws-in-denmark-new-deal-formed-to-raise-abortion-limit-to-18-weeks/

The abortion limit in Denmark has been raised from 12 to 18
weeks as part of a new deal between the country’s government
and the four other parties. This deal notes the first significant
change in abortion law in 50 years in Denmark.

The leading Social Democrats, the Red-Green Alliance, the Social
Liberal Party, and the Alternative Party have formally agreed
to the new deal.

As part of a press release, Sophie Løhde, Denmark’s Minister
of the Interior and Health, explained, “In terms of health,
there is no evidence for the current week limit, nor is there
anything to suggest that there will be significantly more
or later abortions by moving the week limit.”

In addition, the new deal also will replace the five regional
abortion bodies with a new, Aarhus-based, abortion board.

Note this was pushed by left-wing groups, whose
ultimate masters want western civ to shrivel and
die so "better" people can take over.

Still, in any case, most think of Denmark as a very
libertine/mellow country. Yet its limit for
unquestioned abortions has been far lower than even
most US "red" states for FIVE DECADES. US abortion
advocates never MENTION the rest of the world, or
even their beloved "enlightened" Euros, as they
crusade.

Ok ... let's get down to the BAD stuff here. If
1st-world societies do not massively boost birth
rates they are going to CEASE TO EXIST - and a
lot sooner than you'd think. This includes
"Western Civ" - you know, the whole rights/freedom
thing - but also several "eastern" civs. Japan
and SK are most affected now, but the demographics
in China are also looking bad.

100 years ago, there were no effective contraceptives
and baby-making was seen as kind of "holy duty" and
sans much govt support a large fam was your own
little 'army' and support structure. These things
have changed. Children ARE a pain in the ass and
expensive - so all those who don't think they NEED
any/many just don't HAVE them. The wealthy elite
sometimes have some - kinda late in life - as
sorts of "trophies" ... or, say like Angelina
Jolie, just go "shopping" for some. In the evolving
economic, children have become almost un-affordable
to many middle/lower-class.

This means affected societies will get into middle
and retirement age ... and there will be nobody
and nothing to support them - economically or
culturally.

There are exactly TWO fixes ... ban contraception
and MANDATE at least three kids from every woman
(kinda 'Hand-Maid') or really QUICKLY develop the
tech to basically 'clone' humans on a near-
industrial scale ('You'll pick your son, pick your
daughter too, From the bottom of a long glass tube")
Oh, gotta ENCULTURATE those babies ... who will
do that ? No point in a "Japanese" baby if it is
not RAISED in the Japanese tradition/culture.

This is not nice stuff ... but it IS what's coming
up VERY VERY soon. For many here it's WITHIN your
soon-to-be-blighted lifetimes. Old-age home ? Nope.
Staffed by WHO ? Funded HOW ? It'll be more like
Delhi - rat-infested alleyway. Tell the rodents
how you're automatically "entitled" .......

I have doubts today's 1st-world societies can DO
any of this. It means the next century will be
African/Indian/Catholic-South-American. No more
Socrates and Plato, Jefferson and John Locke.
No more Buddha or Confucius. No more Yahweh
or maybe even Jesus or Mohamed. It'll be
Sudan/Mali/Congo 24/7/4-fuckin-ever for most
of the world - except maybe the fundy Hindu thing
in the further east.

Those who make babies WIN the Darwinian lottery.
Hateful maybe - but True.

So ... what DO we do ???

Robots/AI ... even if they were 30 years more
advanced ... still no sub for humans and
human cultures.
