Advertisement boards displayed in Canada are telling parents that “the most loving gift you can give to your first child is not to have another." SPUC has lambasted the anti-life advertisement, calling it a “wretched attack on the family.”

The advertisement was commissioned by the pro-abortion-environment pressure group, One Planet One Child. The group tells couples that in order to combat the “climate crisis”, families must restrict their size to one child and that “the most loving gift you can give to your first child is not to have another.”

Michael Robinson, SPUC Director of Communications said: “The family is constantly under attack. These advertisements are a vile attempt to scare-monger couples into restricting their family size and to shame those who do not.”

One Planet One Child believes that the earth is overpopulated and that humans are to blame for the “climate crisis”. The pressure group produces material aimed at new parents about the “climate impact of having a child” and asks parents to “give up having children to save the planet.”

The billboards on display in Vancouver are designed to “speed progress toward a small family norm”, according to One Planet One Child.

Killing children to save the planet

One Planet One Child provides information to couples about how to restrict their family size which includes sterilization and abortion. Their online material is supported by some of the world’s largest abortion and population control giants including Marie Stopes International, which kills an average of 4.8 million unborn children each year.

International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has also publicly supported One Planet One Child.  IPPF works in over 160 countries around the globe and during 2019 killed 5,614,338 unborn children by abortion.

Children should be cherished

SPUC’s Michal Robinson said: “One Planet one Child has a homepage littered with manipulative information which seems aimed at terrorising young couples into severely reducing the number of children they have.

“We have seen some of the world’s most wicked regimes enforce a ‘one child policy.’ We know that such policies result in cruel and unthinkable forms of brutality.

“Children should be cherished. They should not be seen as something which destroys and damage the planet. It is vital that families are supported, and children are always seen as a blessing.”
