There were very few cars and thousand upon thousands of bicycles. It was so cool to watch the couples with their one child because you could see so much love and hope in that child riding on the back of their bikes.
No, I am not saying abortion is right. But I am saying that China's one child policy was in place before China could feed her own people and the subsequent rising prosperity followed. Can't put the blame on the United States. Sorry. Not buying.  |
China is presently a country that forces women to abort as national policy. It could be argued that if one were to support their economy with their dollar...we're funding their system and their policies.
I think the question is...how pro-life are we? Is our pro-life ethic limited to politically addressing voluntary abortion in our own country...but we're perfectly willing to support the economy of China, a nation that forces women to abort, to save $2.99 at Wal-Mart?
