Russia must enact pro-life laws or face demographic disaster, a leader in the Russian Orthodox Church said last week. “In Soviet times we got used to abortion and we got used to considering it an unavoidable part of our legal reality and that there is no way to the turn back the page,” said Orthodox Archpriest Vsevolod Chaplin. “But we see today that it is possible to turn back a great deal.”
Health Ministry figures showed 1.2 million Russian abortions last year compared to 1.7 million live births. Between 1992 and 2008, Russia’s population dropped by more than 12 million. UN statistics for 2007 show that the Russian Federation has 53.7 abortions per 1000 women aged 15 to 44, the highest rate in the world. Russia's rate is followed by 35 abortions per 1000 women in Kazakhstan, 33.3 in Estonia, 31.7 in Belarus, and 24.2 in China. LifeSiteNews

My book The Five Laws of Liberty: Defending a Biblical View of Freedom will be released sometime in July and I am desperately trying to get the word out.
I would love for you to read The Five Laws of Liberty when its released and help me get the word out through your site.
Endorsements
The Five Laws of Liberty demonstrates careful scholarship, and Scott's aim to point readers toward the value of a biblical, Christian approach to freedom is truly admirable. Every student in America, no every American, should be required to read this book.
