Come on,
people
, let's get behind this one! Why should we
limit
the
noble
goal of eliminating
unnecessary people
to just
unborn children
? Surely everyone can agree that most of the people in the
world
are completely
useless
and utterly
killable
, right? Well, let's
expand
the period when we can perform
abortion
s from the first or second
trimester
all the way up to
99 years old
! (Why
99
years? If they've
escape
d from me for that long, I figure they deserve a
break
) Really, can you think of
anyone
who would
disagree
with the idea of
legalizing
abortions
for everyone from
conception
on up? I'm writing my
Congressthing
right now, and you should, too!
Yeah, sure, this is a total
joke
. No need to pay any
attention
to me. Soon you will all
bow
before my
throne

The scary thing is, in some parts of the world this isn't a joke. In a certain
large eastern country
, much more emphasis is placed on male children (not that it isn't so elsewhere in the world) than female.
Tradition
dictates that when a woman is to be married off, her dowry goes to her husband's family, and all her obligations to her family are shifted to his. As a result, for most
rural farmers
, raising a female child will result in a great drain on the family's resources, with little apparent gain. Male children work on the farms, contribute to the family, bring home dowries and care for their parents in their old age.
Traditionally this was remedied by
infanticide
, although this is considered a taboo subject anywhere and not likely to show up on statistics from say, CNN. However, in our modern society, it's common to use
ultrasound
to determine the sex of a child. This technology, availiable to even the middle class of that country has resulted in an enormous
population
disparity
. Estimates give a ratio of one female
person
, not child, in that country for every six males, and that is a
conservative
estimate. I know it sounds a bit extreme.
