Good, finally nice to see China understanding the need for being a Pro-Life country. Now America needs to become more Pro-Life to follow suit. I have faith in this upcoming Tuesday that everyone will get the message, and learn from their mistakes four years ago.

I would hardly say China, even without forced abortions, is a "pro-life" country. It certainly does not respect the rights and dignity of the individual, and is only now ameliorating the One Child policy because it recognizes the demographic catastrophe it has unleased as a major threat to Chinese economic and military security. Let's not forget that Hitler likewise opposed abortion (at least for Aryan women), and Nicolae Ceaucescu instigated a natalism campaign to boost Romania's population to 26 million people--yet neither would be described as being the least bit "pro-life".

Well, Hitler may have been opposed abortion, but he's no Pro-Lifer, either, obviously, with the amount of people he ordered put to death. So I see where you're going with this, but even so.

Glory to Jesus Christ!
China is far from pro-life, however, maybe when they decide that population control hurts economically the American "progressive" will start to have second thoughts.
Imagine, if 55 million Americans had not been aborted in the last 40 years and been working and paying taxes, what would be the financial condition of Social Security, Medicare and health insurance. Hmmm

That's called being right for a completely wrong reason. Because it's effectively a secular and utilitarian approach, its "appropriateness" is entirely dependent upon situational considerations. NOW it is wrong to promote abortion and population reduction, because it's hurting economic development. But if, in the future, having too many people is perceived to be a problem, then it would suddenly be "right" to encourage or even mandate abortion to reduce population growth, or even the size of the total population.
And that, of course, is how we got to this point in the first place.
