"Anyone who has ever dealt with numbers of horny young adult males understands the gravity of this problem," writes Thomas Lifson at The American Thinker. He's talking about China's and India's looming demographic crisis: Too few women for too many men. For historical and cultural reasons, both countries prefer male children and are not averse to aborting unwanted girls. Modern technology, in the form of sex-predictive ultrasound screening of fetuses, has made things that much easier, and China's one-child policy has only accelerated the trend:
By the year 2020, there will be thirty to forty million young adult males unable to find women to marry in China . . .
A permanently frustrated and angry mass of young men is a potential source of revolutionary street mobs, or, alternatively, of testosterone-powered soldiers. China’s leadership, ever anxious to cling to power, is all but certain to choose the latter option . . .
Discerning readers may notice a common source of all these problems: a readiness to employ birth control, most especially abortion. One doesn’t need to believe in the concept of karma to understand that there is a price to be paid for violating the sanctity of life.
Not to mention a readiness to consider females as inherently less deserving of a fighting chance.
