There is one caveat to South Korea gender balance. They are importing a lot of what you might call “mail order brides” from countries in SE Asia because so many SK women are too well educated to want to live in South Korea’s rural areas as farmers wives.

In fact the destruction of baby girls...
Baby girls are thus victims ...

I'm confused. Are they baby girls or fetuses? Normally, this magazine calls them fetuses, here they call them baby girls. I'm so confused.

Nor will you.When you confront a pro-abortion(choice) feminist with the fact that abortion is the ultimate form of discrimination against women since 1/2 of the babies aborted are female, they run & hide, completely change the subject, or start screeching at you.

I wonder now if the next generation of Chinese men will go queer, or simply raid Mongolia, Korea, or Siberia for women.

China already has a big problem with prostitution and sexually related diseases including AIDS. Their continued preference for boys will only make this worse.

Young men without women to marry are good fodder for wars and terrorism.

It affects rich and poor; educated and illiterate; Hindu, Muslim, Confucian and Christian alike.

Huh? I suppose I need some examples. Maybe they are talking about the Pro-Abortion Catholics in Congress. They specifically target blacks and not femailes. That would be genocide, not gendercide.

Trafficking probe nets 10 Mexican migration agents

Associated Press 2010-03-03
Mexico’s interior department says prosecutors have detained 10 Mexican immigration agents and three airline workers at Cancun’s international airport on suspicion of****** trafficking Chinese migrants.********[headed to the USA!]

The department says in a statement that the agents, along with the two Mexicana Airlines employees and a worker of Livingston Air, allegedly allowed Chinese citizens into the country with false passports.

A statement issued Tuesday by the department says the arrests are part of an investigation that resulted in the detention of 26 immigration agents at Cancun’s airport in January.

Remember that the border patrol was initially formed to keep Chinese and Japanese immigrants from coming illegally via Mexico. At the time, Mexican immigrants were allowed to cross freely (believe it or not), while immigration from China and Japan was banned via the Chinese Exclusion Act and the “Gentleman’s Agreement” with the Japanese government.

re: For the life of me, I can’t figure out why liberals think the gender-neutral murdering of baby girls is better than the gender-based murdering of baby girls.

The answer is that liberals don't have a problem with either. As Rush says, liberals view abortion as a holy sacrament. Abortion is a good thing in whatever manifestation it takes. This is why liberals do not oppose forced abortions in China. One of the first things Obama did when he became president was make an executive order to overturn the Mexico City Policy that banned using US taxpayer dollars to fund abortion overseas.

I believe it... they used to go back to Mexico because that was before welfare for foreigners and the jackpot baby scam and the promise of amnesty over and over again.

isn’t bestiality how Mother Earth creates new species?

Impossible. Goat-ramming and the like would just create sterile human-animal hybrids. I base that on the knowledge that mules (horse X donkey) are sterile.

All smart a$$ed comments aside, what do you think China plans to do with its exploding population of unattached males aged 15-40?

I'll take "Military Invasions and Cultural Revolutions" for $1949, Alex.

With queerness apparently being an innate trait, I’ll go with panty-raids on neighboring countries.

Because boys (and all things masculine) are evil to liberals.

I'm sick of these articles talking about how nobody wants girls. In our country, nobody wants the boys. When Americans have a choice, they choose a girl. People are lined up for girls in countries that will give them a choice, like Ethiopia, and for years, Guatemala. Adoption agencies were and are literally begging families to consider adding a little boy from those countries to their family. My daughter adopted her twin boys from Guatemala shortly after her first son. The agency said they had 20 people waiting for a girl, but none of them would take these two little boys. It disgusts me.

I'm sorry in some ass backward countries they kill the little girls. Really, I am. Obviously, that's evil. But in our own country, how long will it be before we're offing the little boys?

These Asian girl murdering nations will become bone smuggling nations as all those boys will grow up to be men....with no normal outlets for normal male sexuality.

As wide as this world is, there will be normal outlets -- gained by such things as conquest, rape, and what not. But I've begun lately to wonder if this wasn't the whole idea behind the one-child policy to start with, either to go to war or to conquer like this.

It’s far more sinister then murdering babies. as if anything could be more sinister. Asians think in terms of centuries whereas Americans and Europeans think monyhly to yearly at best.

They are breading a future army. An army as others have posted that will be young sexually frustrated males who will need little motivation or brainwashing to go to war. Their standing army is already a frightening number and a glimpse of 20 years hence is frightening.

In the West, there’s a saying: “A daughter is a daughter all of her life; a son is a son until he takes a wife.” The expectation is that girls will stay closer to their families, and if you’ve already been through infertility and you’re only going to have one child, then you’ll play the odds with a girl. It’s the opposite of how they think the East.

IMO people adopting are more leery of boys because of the increased potential for behavior problems. Not all children are placed for adoption because their parents are dead or too poor to take care of them; some are placed because the parents are dysfunctional, and a tendency to mental illness or behavior problems is inheritable.

Boys act out more than girls generally speaking anyway even when there are no problems, and the couples adopting are usually older and may want a child who needs less energy in supervising.

And finally, my guess is that most adoptions are driven by the wife in a couple, and there are more single mother than single father adoptions. Most women would like at least one daughter; most men would like at least one son, but if he can’t have his own son by blood, then the child’s sex probably doesn’t matter so much.

I don’t think that female-favoring sex-selection is occurring or will occur with birth children the way it is with adoptive children in the West.
