Summary of "health Canada Inadvertently Discloses Facts Planned Parenthood Would like to Suppress"

In "Health Canada Inadvertently Discloses Facts Planned Parenthood Would Like to Suppress" (243) Ted Byfield argues that the realm of modern work conditions coupled with the quest for success is inadvertently taking precedence over producing intelligent offspring. Consequently, a serious population decline has been formulated, leading to negatively correlated effects on our global economy. After identifying Canada, the United states, Europe, and other countries as main culprits, Byfield brings forth the reality that this is a global pandemic. It is such a pandemic, Byfield asserts, that governments and organizations promoting the declination of fertility rates are largely ashamed of recognitive admittance. Furthermore, they're scarcely resolving the economically related disaster and incriminating the families who simply do not want to produce more offspring.

Byfield recognizes a study by Health Canada, which attests Canadians are working too hard, consequently stating that we prioritize work in exchange for our health, our social life, and our population replenishment. The author relays us the information that the study was conducted by Canadian professors, who concluded that the primary culprits (forty-percent) of non-reproducing women are in professional positions. Byfield suggests conclusively that these findings have profound implications; "the intelligence level of the next generation will surely decline"(243). In making this comment, Byfield frowns upon the limited production of offspring from those who are the best potential parents.

Through a host of other studies and government references, Byfield recognizes our upcoming generation as not only having a declining intelligence level, but our population isn't being replenished at all. He mentions how Paul Ehrlick, a prominent prophet of doom, had predicted 65 million American citizens would die of starvation by the 1980s, then counteracts by reassuring the reader that our western economy is severely threatened by just the opposite - a population decline. The author recognizes the severity of the threat, informing; "we are now told by The American Enterprise Institute in Washington, which makes a point of talking about a situation most other foundations and governments seem reluctant to discuss"(244). Here, Byfield questions the credibility of our governments' veracious decisions. Essentially Byfield agrees upon the American Spectator magazine's article pertaining to the same issue; Governmental opinions avoid disclosing the issue of underpopulation after heavily promoting the lofty prediction of Ehrlich within the same generation. Byfield quotes The American Spectator Magazine, "[the disclosure] would destroy their own credibility"(244), adding that most governments around the globe are in the same predicament. Byfield brings forth notion-supporting statistics highlighting developed countries, such as
