I found this article quite sad. My grandmother had a doll collection. I think she had about the same number of dolls as she had grandchildren. She lived far away from all of her grandchildren, and she did indeed love dolls.
I believe she missed her family so much that when she and my grandfather became too old to visit, her hope was lost, and she began to lose her memory to block the pain of separation. I think Alzheimer’s has a purpose.
“Families are living apart these days, so grandkids are giving the dolls to their grandmothers and daughters are giving them to their mothers,” said Bandai’s Tajima, 24. “It’s a little odd, but the dolls become like a substitute.”

“From the beginning, the pill has been an abortifacient, meaning it can cause abortions.”
Chemical abortions each year from 1973-2003: “During this period, approximately 6,605,000 to 11,725,000 chemical abortions occured in the United States annually.”
“During this period, a total of 196,325,000 to 324,325,000 chemical abortions wiped out the equivalent of the entire United States population!”

Maclean’s Cover Story Warns Canada’s Low Birth Rate Leading to Demographic Crisis
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2007/may/07052302.html
“Canadian Christians are among the most liberal and dissident in the world.”
In the area where I attended school thirty years ago, the children were divided into two separate, full classes of about 20-25 children. In other words, there were at least forty children per grade. This year, that very same area has only 10 children at the kindergarten level.

“Walter said to me the other day, very thoughtful-like, ‘Susan,’ he said, ‘are babies very expensive?’ I was a bit dumbfounded, Mrs. Dr. dear, but I kept my head. ‘Some folks think they are luxuries,’ I said, ‘but at Ingleside we think they are necessities.’”
Anne of Ingleside, Chapter III
