<\/div>

China and India are notorious for their cultural preference for boys. Because of this, abortion<\/a> has become a valuable tool to help commit gendercide. In China, a One-Child Policy<\/a> led millions upon millions of baby girls to be aborted, and caused horrific human rights abuses. In India, a baby is aborted every two seconds<\/a>, many of them girls.<\/p>\n

Now, the results are being keenly felt.\u00a0In China and India, men now outnumber women by 70 million.<\/p>\n

A Washington Post<\/a> report shows the far-reaching effects of the widespread abortion of baby girls. Many men will never be able to marry. The shortage of women has even led to further human rights abuses, including sex trafficking, crime, and prostitution. Other ill-effects include epidemics of loneliness and depression. It has even had economic effects, as bachelors save to build homes they hope will impress future brides, rather than spend money. China has the highest suicide rate of women<\/a> in the world. And unwanted babies who aren’t aborted are left to suffer in deplorable conditions<\/a> in orphanages.<\/p>\n

What the Post skates over is what — and who — is responsible.<\/p>\n

In China, forced abortions have caused international outrage, a practice which continued even after the One-Child Policy was relaxed<\/a>. Parents are still required to have birth permits for their children, and the preference for boys remains. India, despite the staggering gender divide, is looking to expand abortion, not limit it.<\/p>\n

Even more disturbing is who has helped make this a reality. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is believed to be complicit<\/a> in coercive population control policies. There is also reason to believe that Planned Parenthood is involved with China’s coercive population control policies<\/a>, thanks to the International Planned Parenthood Federation’s partnership with the China Family Planning Association, a partnership that goes back decades. IPPF has even praised<\/a> China’s “family planning” policies.<\/p>\n

The same thing may happen soon on another continent, as the United Nations moves on to its next prey: Africa<\/a>. The UNFPA is committed to expanding contraception and abortion in African countries, and not for altruistic reasons, as Danish politician Ulla Tornaes spelled out. Unplanned pregnancies are expensive, Tornaes said, and that can be a problem. \u201cIf the population growth in Africa continues as now, the African population will double from 1.2 billion people to 2.5 billion people by 2050,\u201d she claimed. \u201cPart of the solution to reducing migratory pressures on Europe is to reduce the very high population growth in many African countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

As many European countries have been inundated with refugees from African countries, the solution, some claim, is to prevent African babies from being born. But as African pro-life activist and biomedical scientist Obianuju Ekeocha has repeatedly pointed out, African women do not want abortion, and forcing it upon them is colonization all over again.<\/p>\n
