Stafford, VA, Aug. 17 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Contrary to the doomsaying of the world’s anti-population media, Dr. Robert Sassone, Director of the World Life League, states there are reasons to celebrate that India’s population will reach one billion this year.

Sassone notes that the Indian birth rate has declined since 1970-1975 when it was 5.5. and that the country’s population will therefore soon begin to decline. He says that “the population is still growing in spite of fewer children because living conditions have improved so much that fewer people are dying.”

Sassone indicates that the world should “rejoice” that the quality of life has greatly improved to the point that “In forty years life expectancy in India has increased from 40 to more that 60 for both men and women”.
