Europe Chooses Abortion and Suicide
If America can’t learn from Europe’s death, America will soon die, too.

British writer Lois McLatchie Miller has penned a thoughtful essay regarding abortion and immigration as a warning for American readers. She notes “three grim milestones” that the United Kingdom will reach in 2026: (1) For the first time in modern history, the number of deaths will exceed the number of births. (2) British women will abort a third of their babies. (3) The number of foreigners living in the U.K. will match the number of aborted children since the procedure’s legalization.
As Miller soberly observes, “by ending unborn lives on an industrial scale, the native British population has created a demographic vacuum it now plugs with immigration, and in doing so, has brought itself to the brink of quiet obliteration.” What a profound and tragic insight.
Interlaced within her argument, Miller describes the devastating loss of each human life terminated before birth. She outlines medical research that shows how much more likely women are to suffer from mental health problems, ignored grief, addictions, and suicide after having an abortion. She notes that British society’s disregard for strong families has increased rates of loneliness and depression for men and women of all ages. She argues that the British government has done everything it can to discourage the formation of families and transform babies into expensive and “inconvenient competitors to the luxuries of modern life.” “Abortion is the far cheaper” choice for many British women, but “it leads to a nation collapsing from within.”
Miller concludes, “abortion is no longer just a moral issue, but one of national survival. A society cannot abort a third of its future generation and expect to remain intact. Britain is not simply declining, but aborting itself out of existence.” When “a culture decides children are optional,” she warns Americans, “the future becomes optional too.”
