Also, believe me, I'm completely aware of what they do to women with the "enforced abortions" per their family policy. It's practically a Chinese holocaust. They pressure women heavily to become "fixed" after the first birth. Some families will actually kill the infant if it is a girl upon birth in hopes of eventually raising a child.

There is no end to the horrible atrocities being committed for the sake of this policy. Where I ask, is the voice of the "all-mighty U.N." or the Humane organizations on this? Even more, why are we doing business with these butchers?

There is much here to pursue in debate, it can really become emotional. Sometimes you just have to disconnect or it will break your heart.

Sorry, but I'm not buying it. There are plenty of good reasons for not defending legalized prositution that can be articulated without resorting to emotional appeals.

People that defend the indefensible are usually just looking for the easy way out.

We have our own abortion "Butchers " to deal with.We have the Democratparty proposing abortion to 14 year olds without having to get their parents permission. We have Kerry who has stated flat-out that he would appoint no Judge who was not pro-abortion and we have the Dems in the Senate carrying out that rule by not allowing anti-abportion judges to be seated.

Where do you get this information? I've lived in China for ten years now, and in fact, people actually would rather have a girl. Chinese tradition holds that the husband must provide a "dowry" for the wife and her family. Modern times have made the dowry a diamond ring, house, car, and money to burn. Anyone who understands economics can understand that having a daughter is more cost efficient for a family...
