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).
