Hub of Birthrate?

Interesting how they’re tying an anti-abortion campaign to an immigration policy.

SEOUL, Nov. 25 (Xinhua) — The South Korean government plans to step up its efforts to fight the issue of its shrinking birthrate through launching an anti-abortion campaign and seeking more foreign immigrants, a presidential council said Wednesday.

    "The government decided to launch an ‘Increase Koreans’ project that will actively invite more talented persons from overseas by widening doors to foreign immigrants and by revising our immigration regulations to allow dual citizenship," the Presidential Council for Future and Vision said in a press release after its meeting on Wednesday.
