The Associated Press article “Whites under age 5 to be minority soon” in the Friday Dispatch was an interesting account of the changing demographics in this country. The article lacked possible reasons for this decline.
I would like to offer one very unpopular but already predicted theory on why any group of people would be in decline. It also explains why the economic picture in this country is so very volatile.
In 1965, the Supreme Court legalized contraception in this country. Eight years later, it legalized abortion. In short, since then, we have eliminated 54 million Americans, the population of 19 states. And this is just from abortion.
There must be untold millions more citizens who were never conceived. This was predicted in 1968 in the encyclical Humanae Vitae by Pope Paul VI. It's all there, all laid out.
All this, and yet our leader-in-chief continues to pound the drums for more contraception and abortion, paid for by us, the unwilling taxpayers.
