Abortion rates in Russia lead to underpopulation crisis
lifenews.com — Abortion has been used as a method of birth control for decades in Russia and other eastern European nations. Russia will likely lose 1/3 of its current population by 2050 as a result. The underpopulation crisis in Russia is so bad, the nation will likely need to import large numbers of foreign workers because of labor shortages.

- PhattyPhattMatt, on 05/16/2008, -2/+6I know where there is a surplus of immigrants, Southern California... We are good at shipping them off to places so I think we should re-route them to Russia.
- BabyWookie, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1Russia is currently the second most-immigrated to country in the world. They have a problem with their own "illegals" from south of the border: Georgians, Armenians, Azeris, Uzbeks, Tajiks, Turkmen, hell... even Chinese. There's a ***** of Chinese illegals in Southern Siberia.
- InRussetShadows, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4Heheh. Good one, Matt. I heartily concur. It's a win-win situation. The Russians would be willing to pay us for these scummy illegals, and if we did it a few times, then there would be very few illegals left in the U.S. I imagine that the fear of being rounded up and shipped to Russia would cause them to get back to Mexico post-haste.
- bebopkid, on 05/17/2008, -2/+2I'd go to Mexico before getting shipped to Russia, too.
And even though I know you were slightly joking about the illegals being scummy it's hard for me to imagine why people that want economic freedom and to work hard are scummy.

- allisonrose870, on 05/18/2008, -0/+2Maybe the Russian government ought to provide incentives to marry and have children and let nature takes its course.
- BabyWookie, on 05/19/2008, -0/+1They do. They have extensive government programs and monetary subsidies that promote child baring. Also, the population decline has been reducing as their economy improves.
- TYRONEBR549, on 05/19/2008, -2/+1They are getting what they deserve.
- amishnet, on 05/22/2008, -0/+2I wouldn't gloat too much; America will ALSO get what IT deserves; so will Europe; China; Africa... In fact, the only ones who don't have this abortion problem is Islam. Bizarre how that works...
- shanson13, on 05/20/2008, -0/+2Abortion is murder. Murder is sin. The wages of sin are death.
- amishnet, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1Well, after McCain/Clinton/Obama/Bush administration destroys our economy, at least we know where to go for jobs.
