Lately any crackpot cause can get recognised by putting the word sustainable in its name. The frenzy generated by the global warming religion of doom is the excuse for the latest idea.
The environmental movement is all based on the assumption that huans are evil and the world would be better off without us. Sadly very few of these peopletake their beliefs to the logical end of removing themselves from the world- the environmental religion is based on the ideas that action should be taken by someone else.
Contrary to this notion is the christian idea that God loves His creation, especailly people, and that we are called to share with God in the process of caring for and perfecting the creation. God loves the people of the world so much that he sebnt his one and only son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Here is an article about the reality of China's "One Child" policy.
Cases of Forced Abortions Surface in China
by Louisa Lim
Morning Edition, April 23, 2007 · During the past week, dozens of women in southwest China have been forced to have abortions even as late as nine months into the pregnancy, according to evidence uncovered by NPR.
China's strict family planning laws permit urban married couples to have only one child each, but in some of the recent cases — in Guangxi Province — women say they were forced to abort what would have been their first child because they were unmarried. The forced abortions are all the more shocking because family planning laws have generally been relaxed in China, with many families having two children.
Liang Yage and his wife Wei Linrong had one child and believed that — like many other couples — they could pay a fine and keep their second baby. Wei was 7 months pregnant when 10 family planning officials visited her at home on April 16.
Liang describes how they told her that she would have to have an abortion, "You don't have any more room for maneuver," he says they told her. "If you don't go [to the hospital], we'll carry you." The couple was then driven to Youjiang district maternity hospital in Baise city.
"I was scared," Wei told NPR. "The hospital was full of women who'd been brought in forcibly. There wasn't a single spare bed. The family planning people said forced abortions and forced sterilizations were both being carried out. We saw women being pulled in one by one."
The couple was given a consent agreement to sign. When Liang refused, family planning officials signed it for him. He and his wife are devout Christians — he is a pastor — and they don't agree with abortion.
The officials gave Wei three injections in the lower abdomen. Contractions started the next afternoon, and continued for almost 16 hours. Her child was stillborn.
"I asked the doctor if it was a boy or girl," Wei said. "The doctor said it was a boy. My friends who were beside me said the baby's body was completely black. I felt desolate, so I didn't look up to see the baby."
Medical sources say fetuses aborted in this manner would have been dead for some time, so the tissue is necrotic and thus dark in color.
"The nurses dealt with the body like it was rubbish," Wei said. "They wrapped it up in a black plastic bag and threw it in the trash."

I can't even imagine the horror those poor women and their husbands have experienced. I'm really speechless.
ReplyDeleteIt's terrible, and it's been going on ever since China brought in the policy. It is scary that come fringe groups in the West are trying to lobby for the introduction of similar policies here.
