Widespread abortion in favor of boys would shift it further in favor of boys."<br /><br />I had in mind not the birth ratio but the population ratio. Devastating war like WWI or the Thirty Years War significantly reduces the male population. I stand corrected. Thank you.David C.

Is the likelihood of conceiving a female greater during times of war?Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606970304235627495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5676423713279237243.post-53151717443848176382011-06-23T15:14:42.232-04:002011-06-23T15:14:42.232-04:00Sounds like a rush back to the false promises in t...Sounds like a rush back to the false promises in the Garden, " ... you will be like God, [determining] good and evil [for yourselves]. (Gen. 3:5)" The fruit wasn't merely desirable for food or because it was a delight to the eyes ... it held out the promise to make one <b>wise</b> (Gen. 3:6).<br /><br />"Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the <b>wisdom</b> of this world? (1 Cor. 1:20)<br /><br />Over the past 15-20 years of my adult life, I've become more and more libertarian in my views of government interference into the normal, private lives of Americans ... especially with the modern tendency toward control and wealth redistribution.

I would have subtitled it "...Excellent article! I would have subtitled it "Between A Rock and A Hard Place" Abortion stats worldwide are nothing short of staggering; approximately 42 million per year. The collective result of this "sacred" choice for choice sake is nothing less than the worst genocide perpetrated by mankind; far outnumbering all the worlds wars we are so up-in-arms about. "Save the whale", "kill the human" Sound too harsh? which part? Oh, and where is the child's rights or "choice" in all of this? I was once approached by a young girl in front of NYU asking me to sign her petition keeping abortion legal, I responded, "Aren't you glad your mom didn't have an abortion?" Isn't it interesting that the vast majority of "pro choice" women are not mothers nor are they sure they want to be one in the future?David Leopoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17904641311661313414noreply@blogger.com
