Among the many dreadful things modern liberalism will bring, this is one of the worst:
A new United Nations Development Program (UNDP) report released March 8, entitled “Power, Voice and Rights: A Turning Point for Gender Equality in Asia and the Pacific,” and coinciding with International Women’s Day, highlights the fact that sex-selective abortion continues to increase the gender imbalance in developing countries.
Under the heading “more women than ever are disappearing,” a press release from the UNDP announcing the new report says, “The problem of ‘missing girls’ in which more boys are born than girls, as girl fetuses are presumably aborted, and women die from health and nutrition neglect – is actually growing. Birth gender disparity is greatest in East Asia, where 119 boys are born for every 100 girls.”
The report found that “China and India together account for more than 85 million of the nearly 100 million ‘missing’ women estimated to have died from discriminatory treatment in health care, nutrition access or pure neglect or because they were never born in the first place.”
Seeking the death of the innocent is never the answer. For all of liberalism’s alleged concern for the plight of women, the real result of liberalism is death for women – at all stages of life, but especially when in the womb.
This is demographic catastrophe – China and India, still with growing population, are about to enter first a rapid aging of their population, then a rapid decline of total population.
The aging will put a huge strain on economies which are still poor and primitive in spite of great strides over the past few decades. Then will come the simple lack of young people to man the industries which have been built up over the past 20 or so years. Europe has plugged the gap by importing Moslem youth – proving ever more indigestible and, moreover, only a temporary fix as Islam has also been infected by the Culture of Death and is undergoing a rapid decline in birth rates (in Iran and Tunisia, its already below replacement level, and only barely above it in Turkey and Algeria). China and India have no practical place to import youth from.
This is death for the world – but only for part of the world. And the meek, it seems, really shall inherit the Earth.
