Europe (and the rest of the West) are cotracepting/aborting themselves out of existence!

In Europe 2.1 children per woman is considered to be the population replacement level. These are national averages (From EuroStat-2004)
Ireland: 1.99
France: 1.90
Norway: 1.81
Sweden 1.75
UK: 1.74
Netherlands: 1.73
Germany: 1.37
Italy: 1.33
Spain: 1.32
Greece: 1.29

Note that Ireland and France, traditionally Catholic with profamily policies are almost replacing themselves. Then come the protestant countries. The frightening thing is that Germany, with a large minority of Catholics, "Catholic" Italy and Spain and Orthodox Greece bring up the rear!
