"Another profamily soldier banging the drum about demographic winter,
Christine de Vollmer, head of the US-funded Latin American Alliance
for the Family, says that thanks to "obstinate antifamily policies,
the end of European civilization can be calculated in years." Such
predictions are winning the ear of top US conservatives, with Mitt
Romney taking time during his campaign exit speech on February 7 to
warn that "Europe is facing a demographic disaster" due to its
modernized, secular culture, particularly its "weakened faith in the
Creator, failed families, disrespect for human life and eroded
morality." With this, the American Christian right has hit on a potent
formula: grafting falling Western birthrates onto old morality
arguments to craft a tidy cause-and-effect model that its members hope
will provide their ideology an entry into European politics.

"The imminent demise of Europe is a popular prediction these days,
with books such as Catholic scholar George Weigel's The Cube and the
Cathedral, Melanie Phillips's Londonistan, Bruce Bawer's While Europe
Slept and Pat Buchanan's Death of the West all appearing since 2001.
The 2006 film _Children of Men_ sketched a sterile, dystopian world
thrown into chaos for lack of babies (though with less blatant
antiabortion implications than the Christian allegorical P.D. James
novel on which it was based). The media increasingly sound the alarm
as Eastern European countries register birthrates halved since the
last generation. And on February 11, the Family First Foundation, a
profamily group in the same movement circles as Mosher and de Vollmer,
released a documentary dedicated to the threat: Demographic Winter:
The Decline of the Human Family. "
