When the two of the largest population nations have a tendency to abort Females leads to many males not having a chance to find mates.... Must be rough...

**Abortions and sterilizations are pushed and even forced on citizens with United Nations approval and often financing, while emergency aid to Third-World countries has come to include first and foremost, free and sometimes coercive birth control.**

Something to think about. I wonder how much U. S. money supports abortion and sterilization??

And what about this plea?

**Several years ago, I heard a radio report to the effect that the most requested gift from children to in-store Santa Clauses was for little brothers or sisters. For them, it's the best gift they can imagine. Some moms and dads have forgotten this or been scared away from the blessing.**

Is there some reason I should believe that we need more people?

If you want somebody to pay for your entitlement programs you do. The cradle to grave entitlement morass has created a pay as you system that will collapse without workers to feed it. Beyond that, there is a vitality to youth that is needed in a society. Older generation instinctively understood this and large families were a blessing. Just another case of Natural Law being stood on its head.

I don't buy this for a minute. Unless there is a catastrophic disease or war there will be no population decline.

Here in the U.S. we are expecting a dramatic increase in population.

From our own census bureau:

I am in no way trying to hijack this thread.

Do you not have some love and service to spread around?

Sorry if you don't.

Are you married?

One is the main purpose of marriage -- the sacred unity of a man and a woman and pro-creation.

Never mind, you clearly aren't going to answer so just forget I asked.

Definitely. My two granddaughters love their baby brother. He has filled the whole family with laughter. For instance, when he thinks he isn't getting enough attention, he turns off the TV set. They yell at him and laugh too, and he loves it. He is one plus now. And they parents are constantly talking about how much fun he is. I don't think we get the parent stuff down very well until the third. Then we relax and have more fun.

Let us not forget how selfishing and self-centeredness grows with tiny families. It's all about the money.

I have long maintained that the most rampant genocides in the world today are perputuated by American liberal politicians in the name of humanitarian causes. Dig a bit and you'll find that a ton of US taxpayer money goes overseas to fund abortions in Africa and elsewhere.

Hooray!

The culture of the U.S. will be dramatically changed (not for the better) unless things change. We don't need 571 million people living here.

I was out with my 4 (well behaved) children at a store a few weeks ago, and a women loudly told her husband "she should have had her tubes tied."

The hostility is amazing, but I am not sorry. I am raising educated, independent, conservative future adults.

China will be interesting. I think their one child policy will be a disaster.
