Gendercide and abortions--what do the numbers say about us?

Posted about 3 years ago The Economist magazine recently published an article that estimated that at least 100 million baby girls have disappeared--"killed, aborted, or neglected." http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=15606229 Most of the casualties seem to occur in India and China, but other countries and geographic regions also practice gendercide: Taiwan, Singapore, "former communist states in the western Balkans and the Caucasus, and even sections of America’s population (Chinese- and Japanese-Americans, for example): all these have distorted sex ratios." "Gendercide exists on almost every continent. It affects rich and poor; educated and illiterate; Hindu, Muslim, Confucian and Christian alike." Newsweek estimates that 40% of American women have had abortions. (If there are 150 million women in the US, that means approximately 60,000,000 women have had abortions in this country.) http://www.newsweek.com/id/234382 What do all these dead--or if you insist, numbers--say about us? |

| Posted about 3 years ago What does it say about us? What does abortion in general say about us? the fact that we, as a nation, clearly have no pespect for the lives of the unborn, that we find our children to be disposable if they are at all viewed to be an inconvenience on our lives, that as adults we don't have to take responsibility for our actions or lack thereof. There are so many hypocracies it is ridiculous. Kill a pregnant woman and her unborn child....go to prison for DOUBLE murder, homicide, etc. A pregnant woman kills her own unborn child....she gets to go on with her life, skipping down a primrose lane. Abortion in an act of legal murder, plain and simple. The abortion clinic in my hometown killed 11 babies yesterday, March 11, and no one was there to grieve for them. Such a sad state our country is in on so many levels. |
