Its strange how so many worry quite rightly about starving children but not about slain in the womb children.

Quite frankly, I chalk this up in the , "other peoples business category"....
Why do people always try to push their views and beliefs on others?....
It is none of your damn business what one does with their body and their life.....I am sorry for the hungry children, but I have my own to take care of my own first..............The world sucks, I feel that more people need to mind their own business more....
Like,,,, I should have just over looked this thread.......I did three times but could not resist to chime in my thoughts...But you took the time to make this statement of a thread sooo...................Liejunkie's blood pressure rises slightly....Time to go smoke.......
Thank you for the thread space.......

yeah, abortion really sucks, its terrible. however do you really want a world where a government official dictates the birth process in regards to another humans body?
abortion has no bearing at all on population, and REALLY is only that particular woman's business. not yours, not mine, and certainly not the government's. if it upsets jesus so much, then I'm sure he'll deal with those people accordingly. MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.

It is a natural belief for us all to believe ....that with approx seven billion humans on this planet we are in fact a safely entrenched species.
But know this everyone approx 155,000 humans die every single day on Earth.
If no new humans were born we as a species would be extinct within what ?
Well our population would be down to near zero inside one hundred years.
Yet we continue to encorage the mass culling of our species via Abortions.
Wonder why the west needs more and more migrants/
Well war and mass abortion has reduced the natural birth rate dramatically since 1914.
How many births per 1000 are the USA interms of actual births when compared to the world average?
Oh about 30% per day.
Just a thought, the chinese and Indians do not have a higher population by accident.
Only the most cold kill their conceived by the millions and call themselves cultured.

The dowry, theoretically illegal under the Dowry Prohibition Act of 1961, is a significant and pervasive theme . Although a law passed in September 1994 prohibits the use of amniocentesis and sonogram tests for sex determination, they are widely used for this purpose and many female fetuses are terminated (U.S. Department of State, 1998). Advertisements in India for ultrasound clinics urge couples to spend “500 rupees today to save 50,000 rupees tomorrow” (World Vision, 1994, p.4). Washington Post reporters Anderson and Moore (1993) report that at one clinic in Bombay, of 8,000 abortions performed after amniocentesis, 7,999 were of female fetuses. This estimate was supported by a study of clinic records in a large city hospital in India. Seven hundred individuals sought prenatal sex determination. Of those, 250 were male. All of these pregnancies were brought to term. In contrast, of the 450 determined to be female, 430 were terminated (Ramanamma & Bambawale, 1980).
The English-language newspaper The Hindu reports that on an average 105 female infants were killed every month in Dharmapuri district throughout 1997. This was in spite of efforts to protect female children (The Hindu, 1998). In another region, the Kallars (landless laborers in Tamil Nadu), view female infanticide as the only way out of the dowry problem. One mother interviewed in India Today said: I killed my child to save it from the lifelong ignominy of being the daughter of a poor family that cannot afford to pay a decent dowry. But all the same, it was extremely difficult to steel myself for the act. A mother who has borne a child cannot bear to see it suffer even for a little while, let alone bring herself to kill it. But I had to do it, because my husband and I concluded that it was better to let our child suffer an hour or two and die than suffer throughout life (Venkatramani, 1992, p. 127).
n 1979, China implemented a highly intrusive policy to limit the number of births per family. Government workers monitor families for birth control use and tell couples when they are authorized to conceive. Couples are pressured to terminate “unauthorized” pregnancies, and this has occurred even in the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy (U.S. Department of State, 1997). The policy was implemented because of the enormous size of the Chinese population. The government predicted that it would be unable to meet its needs (Potter, 1987). The policy is more likely to be enforced in cities than out in the countryside, where families may be allowed to have more than one child because they need extra help on the farm (Potter, 1987).
