Abortion-Driven Childlessness Exposes Society’s Rebellion Against Divine Law
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on Kevin Duffy’s analysis linking rising childlessness in England and Wales to abortion, citing Office for National Statistics data showing 48% of conceptions among women under 25 ended in abortion in 2022. Duffy, a former Marie Stopes International employee turned pro-life advocate, projects that by 2045, one in four women may remain childless at age 45, with abortion contributing to half these cases. The report notes the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales’ opposition to abortion decriminalization but frames childlessness primarily as a demographic crisis rather than a spiritual catastrophe (Pius XI, Quas Primas).
Natural Law Violated Under the Guise of “Choice”
The article’s clinical focus on fertility statistics ignores the foundational truth: every abortion murders an immortal soul and severs a woman’s eternal destiny from God’s design. While Duffy rightly notes abortion providers fail to warn women of lifelong childlessness, his secular framing reduces the crime to a matter of “timing pressures” rather than a peccatum clamans ad caelum (a sin that cries to Heaven). The 90,753 abortions recorded in 2022 among women under 25 constitute not merely “family planning” but ritual sacrifices to the Moloch of modernity – a direct consequence of societies rejecting Christ the King’s sovereignty over life and death (Pius IX, Syllabus of Errors, Condemned Proposition 55).
“Women are still having broadly the same number of children. The average hasn’t really changed [since the 1970s].”
This statement inadvertently exposes the diabolical inversion at work: When birth rates remain stable but childlessness rises, it proves abortion primarily exterminates firstborn children – the very offering Satan demands to fracture generational continuity. The ONS data confirms what Pius XII condemned as “the cult of the useful” (Discourse to Midwives, 1951): A society valuing economic productivity over souls will inevitably abort its future.
Conciliar “Bishops” Complicit Through Silence
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales’ Nov. 14 statement opposing abortion decriminalization as “an assault on the value of human life” rings hollow when measured against pre-conciliar condemnations. Unlike Pius XI’s encyclical Casti Connubii (1930), which anathematized all abortion as “horrible crime” demanding excommunication, these modern clerics refuse to:
- Name abortion as murder deserving temporal punishment
- Condemn politicians supporting abortion laws as ipso facto excommunicated (Canon 1398, 1917 Code)
- Instruct the faithful to boycott employers/industries profiting from child-killing
Their tepid appeal for laws “preserving human dignity” ignores Pius IX’s condemnation of those who claim “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Syllabus, Proposition 55). True shepherds would demand criminal penalties for abortionists and excommunication for Catholic collaborators – not negotiate with a regime permitting 200,000 annual child-sacrifices.
Demographic Collapse as Divine Chastisement
England and Wales’ fertility rate collapse to 1.41 embodies the curse foretold in Hosea 9:11: “Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird – no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!” Duffy’s projection of 25% permanent childlessness by 2045 reveals the mathematical consequence of substituting sacramental marriage with contraceptive liaisons: A generation that severs sex from procreation through abortion will reap sterility. Yet the article’s proposed solution – better “warnings” from abortion providers – is akin to asking arsonists to caution their victims about fire hazards.
The only remedy is the restoration of Christus Rex over nations, as Pius XI decreed in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace, and harmony.” Until England’s laws punish abortion as homicide and its rulers submit to the Social Kingship of Christ, no demographic policy can avert divine judgment.
Modernist Language Conceals Spiritual Genocide
The article’s vocabulary betrays its conciliar captivity:
- “Fertility rate” replaces fecundity – a theological virtue corrupted into a metric
- “Childlessness” obscures that these women became mothers at conception, then killed their children
- “Abortion providers” sanitizes what Pius XII called “ministers of Satan”
Isabel Vaughan-Spruce’s statement that “life begins at conception”, while doctrinally sound, remains isolated in a discourse dominated by demographic abstractions. Nowhere does the article invoke the Four Last Things – the particular judgment awaiting each abortionist, the eternal fate of unbaptized infants, or Hell’s fires for unrepentant murderers. This silence confirms the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus in favor of anthropocentric hand-wringing.
Conclusion: Reclaiming the Sword of Truth
Kevin Duffy’s data proves what faithful Catholics know: Societies that license child-sacrifice will cease to exist. The solution lies not in tweaking abortion counseling but restoring the Regnum Christi through:
- Public processions of reparation with the Blessed Sacrament
- Revival of the Confratres Sancti Hieronymi to bury aborted children
- Rejection of the conciliar sect’s false shepherds who tolerate abortionists receiving “Communion”
As St. Augustine warned: “Remove justice, and what are kingdoms but gangs of criminals on a large scale?” (City of God, IV.4). England’s descent into demographic suicide is the earthly fruit of its spiritual rebellion – a warning to all nations who dare dethrone Christ the King.
