Countries that offer free abortions now in population decline...so how is that working out for you?

 Slate  prints an article about countries with serious population decline and ways they are trying to make up the difference such as Russia.

In May, Vladimir Putin, alarmed at Russia's declining population, which is falling thanks to short life expectancy and a plummeting birthrate (1.17 children per woman, down from about 2 in 1990), offered a bonus of 250,000 rubles (about $9,200) to women who would have a second child.

But for developed nations, the birthrates may have dropped too far. Europe and Japan face a shortage of children that endangers pensioners and undermines economic dynamism. Even China is facing a labor shortage, thanks to its one-child policy.

I have written several times about the declining population in Russia and how they are now doing a 360  to try to turn things around. Even the Russian Orthodox Church is waking up.

So to Ted Turner who said they the world should emulate China's One Child policy because too many children are killing the planet to our own Vice President "understanding" China's one child policy this is what abortion does for you.  How is that choice working out for you?
