France's demographic winter
In France, last year the number of deaths was greater than the number of births. It's a nation that is now experiencing a demographic winter and, if the pattern continues, will eventually die.

In 2025, 645,000 babies were born in France. That is 2.1% fewer than in 2024 and 24% fewer than in 2010, the year of the last peak in births. The total fertility rate continues to decline: after 1.61 in 2024, it stands at 1.56 children per woman in …
Do you know that Western Nations have experienced fertility levels below the replacement level for many DECADES. This is not just France. This is not news.
Did you read my post? We did mention other Western nations. It’s news that deaths are now greater than births.
Birth control (the pill invented by a Catholic) and abortion are killing off our future children.
