Boy are you going to be shocked when you find out how babies are made.

Not as shocked as you’ll be when you finally master reading comprehension.

The government that can compel you to give birth against your will,

Boy are you going to be shocked when you find out how babies are made.

China is the other side of the “compulsory childbirth” society anti-abortion activists would like to see established in this country. Two sides of the same coin.

By comparison, there are roughly 11 million abortions each year in India.

Wow.

To strengthen your point, the US actually has less than 1/4 the population of China. If half of the abortions in China are forced, the voluntary abortion rate in China is actually considerably lower than that in the US.

No Abortion!

If truly double, then an abortion for every White man, woman and child.

There are more than 13 million abortions a year, or 1,500 an hour, in China, according to government researchers

This is in an evil, brutal, Communist oligarchy.

How many abortions per year in a supposedly free, supposedly enlightened, supposedly Christian nation with less than 1/3 the population of China?

A) 10
B) 1000
C) 10,000
D) 1000,000
E) 1,000,000

Tragically, E is closest to being correct.

Our abortions per capita are not too far from the amount in the evil, brutal, Communist oligarchy that we look down our noses at.

I’m guessing you are talking about the much improved status of women in China these days. The feminists should be ok with women getting a better deal in society.

Glass half full?

Are you really so obtuse as to fail entirely to see just how horrendously this policy effects the average Chinese citizen?

Forced abortions?

Forced sterilizations?

Almost zero reproductive freedom?

Baby girls killed much more readily because boys are seen as more desirable?

A person’s desperate desire to not see their sacred cows gored can bring out the most obstinately stupid responses it seems.

[B]ut the realities of an aging population are slowly but surely starting to materialize, and China’s might very well be looking at the mother of all demographic problems

What about the 40 million young men who won’t be able to find mates because of this barbaric policy? What are they going to do with all those frustrated men?

A sex ratio at birth of 105 males for every 100 females is average. There are slight differences in trends and patterns, by year, by age of mother, live birth order, and race/ethnicity of the mother. “The reason you need 105 boys—and this is perhaps a demographic universal—is because of the longevity, the survival advantage that women have,” Poston said. “So by the time they marry, there’s a balance.” The sex ratio at birth in China is 120 males per 100 females.

Poston and his colleagues produced estimates of the number of excess males by applying survival probabilities from China life tables to actual numbers of males and females born every year from 1983 through 2010. Males are survived to age 25 and females are survived to age 23 because these are typical ages for first marriage in China. The difference between the number of 25-year-old males and the number of 23-year-old females in any given year represents the number of excess males or bachelors. Poston’s research finds that between 1983 and 2010, the imbalanced sex ratio at birth in China has resulted in a surplus of 40 million males who will be unable to find appropriately aged Chinese women to marry.

I’m guessing you are talking about the much improved status of women in China these days. The feminists should be ok with women getting a better deal in society.

Yes, they die quickly before ever leaving the womb. That’s the miracle of DNA testing nowadays — you can get rid of that pesky female before she and her needed dowry becomes a problem…

This means pro-life republicans will cut ties with China and more importantly, their money, right?
You gave to live by your principles.

There is no place on this earth where I can spend my money without funding an abortion. After all, I will have to pay for Obamacare and its abortifacients regardless of how I feel about the matter.

As for spending my money on Chinese stuff — I tend not to, if I have a choice, but we have increasingly less choice.

But let me tell you this — I’d buy a car from China before I’d ever buy another one made by the UAW. They screwed up my Taurus so bad that I now buy only foreign cars.

I was thinking more along the lines of Chinese generals sending all the dudes north when they start to get uppity, with flowery promises of blue-eyed blonds waiting for them.

The first thing I thought about was — why are all those Russian men dying? The logical conclusion had to be that the Russian women are killing the Russian men. But a quick perusal of youtube indicated that no dash cameras are recording this undeniable fact. I quickly concluded that this has to be because the Russian women are turning off the dash cams just before perpetrating their evil deeds.

I feel sorry for those poor Chinese men — they won’t stand a chance.

China has huge environmental problems due to human overpopulation. I can only look at the 336 million figure with joy.

I really hope you are being sarcastic because if your not that’s pretty screwed up..life means nothing to you if that is the case

thuja on March 18, 2013 at 11:18 PM

How very empowering and liberating.

wonder what the feminists have to say about an entire generation of women destoryed…
