Is sex selective abortion of babies in China and India equal to Hitler's holocaust against the Jews ?
To me it is. The figures are truly staggering, these two countries are reckoned to be short of tens of millions of women and girls due to these sex selective abortions, and apparently this trend is spreading. Surely if ever there was a campaigning issue for modern feminism this would be it. I mean , this is not women taking charge of their own bodies, far from it. These abortions are caused by male dominated cultures coercing women to abort female babies.
Kush....um I think you will find that limits only apply to China....and are you suggesting women can't work ?? In some African cultures women do ALL the work !!!
Vick....I said TENS of millions. What this has to do with men in America being denied sex I don't know. You lost me there brother !!
Kunzy.....actually, I'm a bloke, but don't let the details trouble you !!!
Grappler....there are already cases in India of brothers sharing one wife.....sounds like a feminist dream....not !!!
Lab Tech ....if a foetus is not a potential human then what the hell is it. It's made by 2 humans after all !!

Great question! Very thought-provoking. Judging from the reactions, quite a topic to start discussions with.
I totally agree with you there. Murder is just as heinous, regardless of the "rationale" behind it. I love kids and can't seem to stand people who think they can murder kids and get away with it coz those victims couldn't ever speak up for themselves.

They're both bad but they are very different things so it's hard to compare.
One is an outright evil policy implemented by a government that knew what it is doing. They other is done by the general population as a result of a policy that was well intentioned but had unintended consequences.
Originally there were two big financial exchanges that accompanied marriage. The bride's family would sell their bride to the groom's family. The bride's family would then give a dowry of roughly twice the bride price to the newly wed couple. Overall this meant that both families would give similar amounts of money to the newly wed couple and there was nothing really wrong with it.
However, some political groups decided that selling women was wrong and campaigned to stop it without trying to change the dowry. The result was that the groom's family was no longer required to make a contribution to the marriage while the bride's family would have to pay double. In poverty stricken countries this meant it was much easier to reproduce by having sons than daughters, so much so that they have sex selective abortions.

Its the economic conditions that make boys preferable in some countries, in america girls are preferable.
As for your question, no, a foetus is not a human, abortion is not murder.
And can you post a link for this claim "In some African cultures women do ALL the work" because the feminist lie that women do 80% of the worlds work has been debunked, its 50/50 in most countries except America and the Scandinavian countries where men do more.

A "feminists" favorite weapon is the smoke - screen objection. In this case, the "it causes population disparity". A "feminist" doesn't know any more about population dynamics / fundamentals than a monkey knows about astrophysics, that objection sounds better than the truth though. "a woman has a right to choose", as long as her choice is in line with a man - hating - lesbian - communist agenda. They've been screeching for more than a generation that there are NO negatives associated with "abortion", no increased risk of beast cancer, no significant risk associated with the actual procedure, no increased risk of depression / suicide and most important no negative effect on society.......until now Now, we're supposed to listen when they say, "well an abortion for THIS reason is wrong with potential negatives", so, are we finally getting an admission that "abortions" are not 100% positive and do carry negative side effects? I think not, let me guess, it's not the actual "abortion" that is the problem, right? It's the "sexism behind it"? Gee, here's an idea, why not pressure those governments to pay women to keep girls and tax them to have boys? That will take care of the potentially disastrous effects of "population disparity" which is of course what "feminists" are really concerned about on this issue, right?

F^ck Hitler! (I'll never be able to watch Saving Private Ryan again) - this trend will continue until such a serious imbalance is achieved that there will be no option but to encourage the breeding of girls to counter-balance it. Girls would then be very valuable (disgusting as that sounds).
You could read 'How To Save The World' - a series of short stories by different authors discussing the world and ways to remedy it. One story deals with exactly the scenario you discuss, and the resulting imbalance of boys:girls at about 88%:12%.
I think it was called:- "Choice".
Source(s): Gee, Igor - there was a programme on TV tonight about the rising military power of China and its still relative isolation from the rest of the Pacific Rim nations. AND the possibility of war fairly soon. Maybe they'll breed themselves out by having no women - or maybe they'll need to look for them elsewhere! Sort of a Greater South East Asian Co-Copulatory Region. Remember my prediction about the Asian-Pacific Basin being in flames by 2010? Overdue, Igor - overdue! - SoxLv 61 decade ago
Jeez Louise.
NO.
Even if I could ignore the fact you are comparing abortions to the holocaust, what makes sex selective abortion any worse than other types of abortion? Unless of course it is forced on someone, is it really so much more awful to abort a fetus because it's a female, than for instance, because you find it inconvenient?

Yes. It's a eugenicist inspired tyrannical depopulation arm of the power elite who have co-opted liberal think tanks into believing that the world is overcrowded.

That's a switch, I thought women favored abortion, I guess then, you're not all about full control after all, so all that garbage was bullsh!t like everything else you feed the world.

Only 10 of millions? 50 millions abortion have been performed in the USA since 1950...
And Gynocratic Totalitarians have deprived at least 50% of Men of Sex in N. America. This is amount to castrations of Retards done by the Nazi.
And show me proof of what you said, or you just recite what CNN (Communist News Network) said?

Its because they have a baby limit in urban areas, I think it is 2 children per family, otherwise you are fined. Therefore they want males so they can work and be of more use.

EDIT: numbers dont lie, millions of chinese mothers think women cant work.
