Glad I don’t live there...I don’t know what I would do without my only child....my DAUGHTER, who is the light of my life...
It's allah's will, doncha know?
I’ve got news for you, Armenia is a christian country. In fact they have in the past, proudly claimed to have been the first country to adopt Christianity.
*nevermind*
Yeah. I got stupid there for a moment.
I can only presume the author is misusing statistics. The notion that the average number of abortions had by ALL women over 40 is anywhere eight seems impossible. William Robert Johnston assembles abortion statistics from every nation he can.
http://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/abortion/ab-armenia.html
His data show between 9,000 and 30,000 abortions per year, accounting for, in 2009, 23% of all pregnancies. So unless women are having 40 children each, there is a data conflict here. And while Johnston’s sources are hardly infallible (typically government or intergovernment sources), I’m forced to believe that the reality is closer to Johnsons’.
My guess is somewhere, someone, somewhere lost some critical qualifiers.
Albania may be culturally or historically connected to Islam, but it was a strict Communist state for several generations. The abortion rate - mainly “off the books” - there is quite high, although lower than most of Europe and Central Asia.
In many annual surveys, Albania is the only European country with a replacement-level birthrate ... and keep in mind that this includes the Moslem populations of other European countries! If Spain’s (or Italy’s, or Germany’s, or Sweden’s) Moslems have an above-replacement birthrate, how low must be the birthrate of the ethnic Spanish (etc.) population, in order to have an aggregate of 1.3 to 1.6 per family.
These women spend more time in the stirrups than a cowboy.
I’m shocked too. I’ve long known of the prevalence of abortion in the Soviet days, I’ve also known quite a few women from the former USSR, especially in the nineties. Dad and I put up a few of them who were visiting, studying, working here, etc. for a few weeks or months. Friends of friends of his Russian/Kalmyk diaspora crowd. Dad ceased the practice as he grew to despise them. I know I’m pandering to stereotypes here but the general image of Soviet-raised women as cold-blooded, selfish, grasping, dishonest, etc. had a hard core of reality.
I have been wondering for years how much the routine abortion culture of the Soviet and post-Soviet Russias has had to do with this. It is much more openly discussed nowadays, the psychological maiming effect that abortion has on women.
How much this has to do, vis a vis the general dehumanizing effect of communism had on creating those human lizards, I don’t know, but I sure as hell hope that abortion rates have gone down in the twenty years since the USSR fell.
Wow....
The Armenian girls I knew growing up were not the most, how should I say, “willing”, girls on the block.
I guess the “nice girls” came to the US.
Turks no longer needed for an Armenian genocide.
It makes sense to me only in that a female fetus is more likely to be conceived and be brought to term. Female fetus are just stronger, sorry guys. If a woman was to start bearing children in her 20’s, never use birth control, the odds are she will have more girls than boys.
So what is going on here is the women are getting pregnant with the stronger female embryo (or should I even say zygote?) and because their messed up society only wants boy children the female fetus are being snuffed out.
A real loss. Armenian women are very hot looking.
Since they are Christian, this is most puzzling.
That isn’t good. The less Muslims in the world, the better - particularly in Europe and the U.S.
I think Armenians have generally very strong family values and a strong sense of ethnic identity.
They’re beautiful. I remember two Armenian women I knew in school. One had ver pale white skin and smoldering dark eyes and dark hair. The other looked like of one those ladies in the picture, the one in the Middle. I was too shy to ask them out.
I really like Armenian people from the few contacts I have had with them. They seem like solid decent Christians. I especially hate the Turks for what they did to them, the Assyrian and Chaldean Christians and the Greeks although I have no ethnic connection to any of them.
lol. (I’ve mixed them up, too. I have also mixed up Milton Friedman with Morgan Friedman.)
Females are stronger, but more males are conceived and more males are born.
