Lockdowns are killing young women’s ability to date and form families.

Locking women inside their homes steals valuable fertile years that are crucial in determining whether or not they’ll be able to date, marry and form families.

For all the chatter we hear about “the science” lately, both women’s fertility window and the fact that most young people recover from COVID-19 are absolutely rooted in science. But our society increasingly seems to be treating family formation as unimportant, locking away young men and women who have little risk of falling seriously ill.

With half the world experiencing below-replacement fertility and loneliness on the rise, it’s worth sounding the alarm on the devastating effects of lockdowns.

🇷🇴 Romanian Churches Illuminated in Red Draw Attention to Global Persecution of Christians

A number of churches and monasteries of the Târgoviștei Archdiocese of the Romanian Orthodox Church drew special attention to the suffering of Christians worldwide on the occasion of Romania’s National Day of Awareness of Violence Against Christians on Monday.

The day, officially established last summer, coincides with the feast of the Brâncoveanu Martyrs who were martyred in 1714 in Constantinople for refusing to abandon their Orthodox faith and convert to Islam.

“To highlight the significance of the day, but also to make contemporaries aware of the need for a renewed Christian commitment, with the blessing of His Eminence Metropolitan Nifon, the churches and diocesan monasteries linked to the holy Martyr Voivode Constantin Brâncoveanu were illuminated in red, a color symbolizing the blood of martyrs,” reports the Târgoviștei Archdiocese.
