Wow, what a video. It is definitely propaganda with a purpose, but will messages such as these strengthen Christianity or monger hate?

Communist countries tried the population issue. Romanians were forbidden to use birth control in order to strengthen the communist population, which left the country with many babies not able to be cared for that were put up for adoption.

The figures in the video also make assumptions, that every Muslim child will stay Muslim, that governments will become dominated by Musims. I had heard the low birth rate figure for Italy which is something to consider, since Italy is primarily Catholic and Catholics aren’t supposed to practice birth control.

And Catholic church membership is declining as they try to put strict rules in place once again, which are not looked on favorably by those who came to the church after Vatican II.

Very interesting and heart pounding.

Someone emailed that one to me a few days ago. Considering the source, I didn't pay much attention.

I just read the story below. With women the this, there won't be anything to worry about. I think she is going to bring down the birth rate average.

I think the video is a carefully orchestrated propaganda piece. There is no question that birthrates are having an impact. We know that whites will become the minority in the US within a few short years. Those who scream the loudest are most likely those without children. Chalk it up to progress. A career without the responsibility of raising a family may be the cause.
As for the religious implications, it appears that is a never-ending battle for dominance.

The scary thing is that the people forwarding that email believe it.
