Article: Shortage of Women in China

Shortage of women in China:



This article is so sad.   Researchers have found that in 10 years there will not be enough women to marry men.   This is due to the abortion of females and the 1 child policy China enforces. 


Truly I cannot believe that either of these practices even exist in the world.  It seriously just blows my mind.  I am also sad to read the article and see in black and white what we knew all along.  Of course there would be a shortage of women for men to marry.  And of course human trafficking and prostitution would be on the rise. 

"Abductions and trafficking of women are "rampant" in areas with excess numbers of men, The Global Times reported, citing findings by China's National Population and Family Planning Commission."


"Illegal marriages and forced prostitution were also problems in those areas, the paper said in a report by Agence France-Presse"


God has made it so clear that abortion is wrong. How can an entire nation ignore the Truth?  Even strictly looking at morality, how can they as a country believe that the removal of women from their society will have any benefit?  Obviously these people had to think about the repercussions of killing off baby girls?  And the one child rule had to have consequences that were taken into consideration. 

Jer 1:5   Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.

CCC 2319  Every human life, from the moment of conception until death, is sacred because the human person has been willed for it's own sake in the image and likeness of the living and holy God.


In 2010 maybe we could join in praying for the conversion of China, for the babies that have been and will be aborted, and for the women who did have the chance to be born who will face dire conditions as they reach adulthood.
