Hungarian Prime Minsiter Viktor Orbán has warned that if Europe does not find a balance between international collaboration and national sovereignty, it will find itself 'under the wheels of a bureaucratic juggernaut abusing its power.'
Fleeing the Communists occupying Hungary after World War II, the faithful priests established a monastic community in California that is still thriving today.
At one point, in 1968, there were more than 130 induced abortions for every 100 live births. In 2011, abortions in Hungary were still so widespread that the number of abortions remained close to the number of births. Today, Hungary’s abortion rate has dropped to 25 abortions for every 100 live births.
LGBT groups likely see Hungary as a test case – if it can be forced to bend the knee or face eviction from the EU, other countries will think twice before passing their own child protection laws.
