Earth has a population problem—but it’s not what you might think! You see, earth now has eight billion people on it. That seems like a lot, but fertility rates are dropping rapidly, so the population will soon start to shrink. This means there will be fewer young people but more older people, and they’ll need to be cared for. It’s a big problem!
Sadly, this is largely the result of teaching generations things like: unborn babies aren’t persons and can be killed; marriage and motherhood are bad for women; and climate change will ruin everything!
All these ideas run contrary to God’s Word and his plan for the family. Babies are actually a blessing!
