A young audience watches the topical wartime Punch and Judy puppet show of ‘ professor ‘ Tom Haffenden in August 1941 in London, United Kingdom. Original Publication: Picture Post 837 – What Are All These Children Laughing At? – published 23rd August 1941 (Photo by Bill Brandt/Picture Post/Hulton Archive/Getty Images) Despite Britons largely being confined to their homes, pregnancies fell to a 17-year low during the first year of Chinese coronavirus lockdowns.
According to figures compiled by Britain’s Office of National Statistics (ONS), there were 817,515 conceptions recorded among women between the ages of 15 and 44 in 2020.
The figures for the first year of lockdown restrictions in the UK reflect the lowest number of pregnancies logged since 2003, despite predictions of a baby boom due to couples being forced to stay inside by the government for much of the year.
Yet, 2020 continued the overall trend of falling pregnancies, which have decline every year since 2015 when 876,934 conceptions were recorded.
The ONS noted, however, that there has been an increase in older women becoming pregnant, with a record high of 17.1 out of every 1,000 women in their 40s experiencing a pregnancy in 2020.
Women between the age of 30 and 34 represented the highest number of conceptions for the fourth consecutive year, with a record high of 248,528 conceptions in 2020. Conversely the pregnancy rate for those under the age of 18 fell by 17 per cent.
The first year of lockdown also saw the percentage of conceptions leading to legal abortions increase for the sixth year in a row, with 25.3 per cent of conceptions leading to abortions in 2020.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
