In 2015, the Southern Poverty Law Center put a bullseye on our backs. We at the Population Research Institute were smeared as “radical right extremists” who, for opposing population control and gender ideology and defending the natural family and unborn life, were accused of promoting “harmful ideologies.” We were lumped together with our friends at […] The post The Hate Mongers at Southern Pover…

As the Supreme Court deliberates on whether “birthright citizenship” is constitutional (it’s not), left-wing media outlets are suddenly very, very concerned about falling American birth rates. They are claiming that if we don’t allow illegal aliens to enter the U.S., and then magically create citizens by air-dropping babies on American soil, there will simply be […] The post Is Immigration a Solu…

Just how easy is it to obtain the abortion pill, even in countries where it is illegal? PRI’s Latin American office decided to find out. We called up the abortion network DKT International via WhatsApp, answered a few questions, and a few days later the dangerous abortion drugs showed up on our doorstep: a neat […] The post “Abortion via WhatsApp” appeared first on Population Research Institute .

In This Issue: A new internal review from the U.S. Department of Justice found the Biden administration engaged in “biased enforcement” of the FACE Act, targeting pro-life activists while coordinating with pro-abortion groups. The nearly 900-page report reviewed over 700,000 records and revealed prosecutors sought significantly harsher penalties for pro-lifers—averaging 26.8 months in prison comp…

I don’t know Elsa Johnson, the Stanford student who recently testified before Congress that she is being targeted by Chinese intelligence agents because her research and writing was critical of Beijing. But it turns out that we have a lot in common. I, too, have been targeted by Chinese intelligence agents and for the same reason: […] The post Stanford expelled me for exposing the Chinese regime’…

Two weeks ago, we wrote about the dangerous effects of the abortion pills, which cause life-threatening complications in millions of women worldwide. We pointed out that the World Health Organization has aided this spread by advocating for the “safety” of the abortion drugs and listing them as “essential” medications. But who is actually responsible for […] The post The Abortion Pill Spreads Deat…

Anita Petersen was only 47 years old when she died suddenly in October 2024.  It took an autopsy to reveal the cause of death.  This revealed that she had been suffering from an intracranial meningioma—more commonly known as a brain tumor.  It was bleeding caused by this undiagnosed tumor that led to Anita’s untimely death.  […] The post Contraceptive Causes Brain Tumors appeared first on Populat…

In This Issue: Japan is moving to fully cover childbirth costs under its public insurance health system as births fall for the 10th straight year. In 2025, births dropped below 710,000. Despite spending over $20 billion annually on pro-natal policies, the crisis has deepened. Current subsidies of 500,000 yen ($3,130) often fall short of average delivery costs, especially in Tokyo.

In 1968 a young Stanford University biologist by the name of Paul Ehrlich, published his very first book. He called it The Population Bomb. And, according to him, this “bomb” in the form of too many babies had already gone off. There was nothing that humanity could do now but wait for the inevitable human […] The post Paul Ehrlich convinced Americans that babies are bad – and he was dead wrong ap…
