HUNGARY TO FORCE PRO-CHOICE WOMEN TO LISTEN TO FETUS HEARTBEATS

In a desperate and possibly forlorn attempt to get its pathetic fertility rate at least near survival, the government of Hungary has decreed that all women seeking abortions must at least listen to the heartbeat of the fetus they are planning to kill.

As reported by a Black journalist working for the clearly anti-natalist BBC:

Hungary's government has tightened its abortion rules, which will make the process of pursuing a termination more bureaucratic for pregnant women.

From Thursday onwards, pregnant women will have to listen to the fetus's heartbeat before having an abortion.

Doctors will have to submit a report confirming that this has been done.

Hungary's nationalist government recently blamed increased rates of women in higher education for lower birth rates and a shrinking economy.

In a decree issued on Monday, Hungary's interior ministry urges gynaecologists, obstetricians, and other pre-natal healthcare providers to present pregnant women with a fetus's vital functions in a "clearly identifiable way" from 15 September onwards.

Hungary is trying hard to counter the toxic effects of modernity on the birth rate, thought to be caused by allowing women too much personal choice in when and whom to marry and what to when they get pregnant. There has also been some focus on the pernicious role that higher education plays in depressing the birth rates of especially more intelligent women.

In 2019 Prime Minister Viktor Orban announced that women with four children would be exempt from paying income tax for life.

Unfortunately that seemed to make little real difference to the country's suicidal fertility rate, which enjoyed a minor uptick (well below replacement level) from 2013 to 2018.
