Sixty-eight percent of Down's syndrome cases (range 0-95%) were detected prenatally, of which 88% resulted in termination of pregnancy." - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18410651rvolt24https://www.blogger.com/profile/08560418430022508568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501950572752525523.post-81429166634500544382012-08-02T14:06:07.191-05:002012-08-02T14:06:07.191-05:00Please see the item in bold below.

For every 100 girls registered at birth, there are now 118 little boys - in other words, nearly one seventh of Chinese girl babies are going missing. <br /><br />"Some of those girls are alive, they are just not registered," says Professor Zhai Zhenwu, of Beijing's People's University. "Some are abandoned, but many are aborted when the parents find out the foetus is a girl. <br /> <br />"This is a huge problem for China. We already have about 20 million boys who will never be able to marry because there aren't enough women. <br /><br />"That number rises by 1.5 million every year. <br /><br />"It will bring crime and prostitution.

What if the planet had to support all of the children that are allegedly being lost and would we be pleased with the quality of life they would face? Would we be compelled by our Christian ethic to feed, clothe, shelter and share our world with them as adults? Could the arithmetic progression of this magnitude and in this ethnicity result in our country becoming an infinite minority, that we would accept? Conceding the concerns of 'social engineering' is there a benefit of unrestrained reproduction?<br /><br />Shanghai puts 30,000 new cars on there roads each month... just imagine the composite impact of a Chinese "16th Birthday".<br /><br />In a direct refutation of the fear mongering conjured up by the first successful Reagan presidential campaign, the great eminent crime wave was seemingly averted by the deferred impact of Roe v. Wade, as noted by award winning Micro-economist Steven Levitt in his book Freakonomics. <br /><br />>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCH_OewK_KI<br /><br />Impact meets rhetoric.<br /><br />If this is too much or not a welcomed post, I will retract it in respect to this blog being your space Rick, but I offer these comments in the spirit of civil debate. -JeffJeff Barberhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1409006943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7501950572752525523.post-41900227757909441072010-09-16T10:28:43.489-05:002010-09-16T10:28:43.489-05:00Janet,

Vanity Fair and Mr. Gross really have come up with a tale told by an idiot that still is "signifying nothing."<br /><br />of course, the wit, Mr. Gross, probably thinks he was being artful, perhaps making parallels between Palin and Faulkner's character Benjy from The Sound and the Fury, attempting to mark Sarah as retarded without using the phrase (which would draw the ire of compasionate people)... or perhaps, he thought it would taken as comparasin between Sarah and Faulkner's Caddy... either way, the parallel fails tragically...<br /><br />at the very least, Mr. Gross should not hide behind confidential journalistic sources when making the outlandish statements and accusations that are made... anyone who takes this piece as anything other than an lightly veiled attack piece should have their head examined... it's really easy to attack someone, or to make up fictions... but it's another thing altogether to back things up with truth...rvolt24https://www.blogger.com/profile/08560418430022508568noreply@blogger.com
