If the European Union is pressuring its own partner countries to legalise abortion (e.g. Ireland, Malta, Poland), why would it refrain from doing the same with Jamaica?

At the same time, the EU is complaining of low birth rates and breakdown of social structures. "They have eyes, but don't see; they have ears, but don't hear." If they would not abort their own, they would have no need to complain about the "greying" of their people because the number of aborted children nearly equals the number of children required to replace the population.

It is almost ridiculous how many EU governments are trying to encourage their people to have children by paying them monthly "parents allowance" for every child born. If they would just stop aborting, there would be no need for such financial (fiscal) gymnastics. If we don't want to end up having similar problems in the future, we should never give in to their pressure. Jamaica is Jamaica and we need our people to live.
