Okay. The Castro Kingdom has the highest suicide rate in Latrine America and also the lowest birth rate.
In other words, Cubans kill themselves in record numbers and refuse to procreate.
Could these two statistical benchmarks be related to the political repression endured by those who live in that Caribbean island prison?
Could it be due to the fact that only a tiny number of repressive oligarchs can enjoy life in this world and rest assured that their children will not be slaves?
Naaaaaah. Of course not. This is due to other factors, such as great access to birth control, stellar job opportunities for women, a “tough economy” and housing shortages. In other words, there are only two reasons for these statistics: the great success of the socialist utopia and the great evils caused by the U.S. “blockade.”
It’s a socialist paradise. And the U.S. is to blame for making that paradise less wonderful than it could be. Never forget that. Political repression has nothing to do with Cuban attitudes towards life in this world.
From NBC News Lateeeeeeeeen-oh:
Castro regime to Women: Please Have More Babies
The Cuban government is encouraging women to have babies and turn around its falling birth rate, which is now the lowest in Latin America.
Authorities announced this week they will soon be unveiling financial incentives for couples who are thinking of starting a family. The government has already expanded maternity, and in some cases paternity leave, to a full year with pay. In addition, Cuba has opened dozens of special centers for infertile couples and special maternity units where women can live full time during high-risk pregnancies.
“We’ve been evaluating this low birth rate for years,” said Roberto Alvarez Fumero, chief of the maternity and child health unit at Cuba’s Ministry of Health. “Now we’re taking action to improve sexual and reproductive health, which can help drive up the country’s birth rate.”
The average Cuban woman had nearly five children in the 1960s but the birth rate has fallen to less than two children since the late 1970s. Due to decades of fewer births, the number of working-age people in Cuba is expected to shrink starting next year, which is bad news for an island trying to improve its economy.
In socialist Cuba, the decades-long falling birthrate is attributed to several things, including more women in the workforce, wider access to contraception and abortion, a tough economy, housing shortages and high levels of emigration among young people.
Make more slaves for me!

Cubans on the island procreate just fine. They just abort the consequences in record numbers. I will never forget, a few years ago, hearing a recent arrival from Cuba volunteer the information, which she did NOT have to do, that she had 3 abortions in Cuba, evidently because she got pregnant and didn’t want the kids. Again, THREE times she did this, and she said it like it was nothing, a perfectly natural sort of thing. I’m pretty sure her case is relatively common, and obviously in that society, that is normal behavior–just a way to RESOLVER.
In addition to the high suicide rate and low birthrate, Cuba also has the highest abortion rate in the Western hemisphere. Add to that the growing exodus of young Cubans of childrearing age.
As a consequence, the Cuban nation is facing a demographic collapse. Unless the Cuban government can offer the people hope of a better life, the falling birthrate will continue. The destruction of the Cuban nation by the Castro brothers is almost complete.
“…is bad news for an island trying to improve its economy” Sure, till this day there is no market economy under the long discredited model, all for the sake of a destructive megalomaniac and his monopolistic rule, but I am supposed to believe that shit.
That said, who wants to bring kids into such fraudulent, aberrational, future-less, Orwellian, and dystopian SHIT-HOLE. More so, who wants to be held down by kids when the relentless desire is to escape.
