57 On The Silent and Hidden Genocide of the Unborn

Copyright © 2026 Michael A. Brown

The decriminalisation of abortion in UK in March 2026 may well be acclaimed by some as a 'victory' for modern western feminism, but it is a disaster for any civilised nation.  A disaster, a ticking time-bomb, a calamity and a catastrophe, no less!  It opens up the way for abortions at any stage of pregnancy including during the third-trimester, and for any reason, including sex-selective abortions.

Only about 1% of women actually support third-trimester abortions, but the agenda- and lobby-filled corridors of power are filled with people who simply don't care about nor want to understand the long-term consequences of either huge rates of abortion or of decriminalising it.

The fact that something has been legalised does not make it right, acceptable or moral.  History can serve up plenty of evidence to show that making things 'legal' has sometimes led to great and even genocidal perpetrations of evil.

There are many reasons why couples choose not to have children, or to have fewer than they otherwise might.  The stresses of the family economy (can we really afford it? or, both parents are forced to work full-time and long hours, or even work two jobs; or, unaffordable child care costs; or, having fewer children means we can invest more finance, time and energy in the ones we do have); personal convenience (we don't want to be loaded down with so much burden for so many years, we want to be freer to enjoy life more ourselves); young people getting married at a later age; prioritising career over homemaking; fear of the present and/or the future (we don't want to bring children into the world to face this kind of society); stress over lack of affordable housing; ease of access to abortion services, and so on.

The effect of these factors, combined with corresponding escalating abortion rates, means that the number of live births nationally in UK are plummeting, and have now fallen significantly lower than the average reproductive rate of 2.1 children per woman which is needed to maintain the level of our population.  Our native-born population, of whatever ethnicity, has therefore started to decrease.  This is something over which our politicians of every party have drawn a veil of silence.  They simply don't or don't want to raise the subject.  And this is not just a problem which pertains to white British people, it is a problem across the board in UK life.  However, because the white British are still the majority, it is therefore particularly true of them.

The slow but sure long-term consequence of a lower-than-necessary average reproductive rate over several decades can only be the weakening and loss of corporate national ethnic identity.  Of whatever ethnicity.  No people group and no nation on earth can maintain its identity and survive long-term under such circumstances.  It will inevitably shrink and eventually die out.  The only way to then maintain a nation's population and the strength of its economy (including repaying its sovereign national debt, and its tax and NI burdens) is to encourage and allow average annual net migration into that country to be at a level that would at least balance out the loss.

In UK in 2024, the average reproductive rate per woman in England fell to 1.4 and in Scotland even further to 1.25.  The number of live births in UK in that year totalled 659,856 and the number of abortions has been estimated as a huge, jaw-dropping c300,000 (the vast majority of which were for personal or economic convenience).  This staggering number of abortions therefore represents about one third of total potential live births, and amounts to almost 1,000 every day that passes!  And it is a figure that is increasing year on year.  In 2023 in England and Wales, it was 277,970; in 2022 it was 251,377, and in 2021 it was 214,869.  That's over a million aborted foetuses in just four years!!

We might note that the fraction 1/3 (one third) in the word of God is symbolic of his judgement (Ezek. 5:2,12; Rev. 8:7-12).  Is this significant?  Is the UK now a nation under the judgement of God because it has forsaken his word and his ways, and is perpetrating this kind of evil?

I will leave the reader to do the arithmetic needed with the numbers above, in order to work out the average level of annual net migration into the UK which is necessary simply to maintain our present level of population, for as long as this state of affairs persists.

The annual abortion figure for 2024 is far greater than the total number of deaths in the latest Gaza conflict, and it is double the average annual death toll in the Ukraine-Russia war, situations which have been filling our screens for so long...  If the word ‘genocide’ is being used for what has happened in Gaza, then with this level of abortion we are certainly justified to talk about the silent and hidden genocide of the unborn!

This huge and calamitous level of abortion, for personal or economic convenience, is the proverbial elephant in the room.  Put simply, we are killing off the future generation of this country before it is even born, presently about one third of it.  We are also therefore preventing the coming into existence of the children and grandchildren etc. that these aborted foetuses would themselves give birth to, if they were allowed to be born and grow into adults.  And we also lose all these people from the potential vocations and professions that they would go into when they grew up, so guess what, we have to import people into the UK to do these professions.  And no one is putting their finger on all this...

So do we really need to decriminalise abortion, drive this huge figure even higher, and make the problem even worse?!  May God have mercy!  In fact, I don't see any way in which a nation which kills off its unborn children on such an industrial scale can expect to live under the blessing of God.  Rather the opposite, it should expect his righteous judgement and nothing else!

The Home Office said recently that its official figures show net migration – the difference between those entering and leaving the country – added 2.6 million people to the UK population between 2021 and 2024, i.e. an average of c650,000 per year over that period of four years.

Again, I will leave you to work out the longer-term trajectory of all this, and where we will inevitably end up within just a few short decades.  The people and the ethnic groups who will dominate life in the UK in the not-too-distant future (regardless of who migrates into this country or from where, and regardless of who leaves these shores and emigrates elsewhere) will be those who resist giving themselves over to the short-term convenience of abortion and commit to having an average reproductive rate of more than 2.1 children per woman.  The future of this country will belong to these people.  Those who don't do this, will fast become a minority in the UK just as surely as night follows day...
