If you’re in a hurry for 2 points, scroll down and read the questions in all caps. If not, please read on. China, whose main religions include: Buddhism, Taoism, and Islam, has traditionally and historically valued men over women. When the communist regime installed the “one child per household” law, the results were drastic. In the rural villages, female babies were left in the woods to die of exposure, thirst, or wild animals. In urban areas today, many Chinese women will get an ultrasound done and if the child is female, they will abort the baby and try again for a male.
Orphanages in China are predominately overrun with female children, many who have birth defects that cause fatalities if not medically treated.
China is the largest importer of Russia Mail-Order brides in the WORLD. Many Chinese men have reported to have chosen, (yes, I said chosen) homosexuality as a means to gain sexual satisfaction because they cannot afford a bride or there are simply not enough women.
WHAT CAN BE DONE TO CHANGE THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN CHINA?
HOW CAN WE STOP THE INFANTICIDE OF FEMALE BABIES?
WHAT CAN AMERICANS DO TO HELP?
HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY?
I spelled infanticide wrong in my title question, my bad, sorry.
GRITS – yes, I agree, most females in orphanages are there just because they are female, sorry if I didn’t make that clear.
Bad Squirrel – I never said anything about “forced” or mandatory abortions, just stating facts and looking for hopeful answers…
