Case #1 is the uproar over an advertisement for an anti snoring product featuring a US soldier and his Muslim wife. www.youtube.com I just don't know what to say. Speechless.........

A pregnant Sudanese woman who married a Christian man was sentenced to death Thursday after she refused to recant her Christian faith, her lawyer said. news.yahoo.com She and her 18 month child are in jail. This meets the criteria for this thread.

kneilca2 19-Apr-15, 09:20	re: Pat Robertson comments Brings the complexity down to such a vilifying simplistic view that it exemplifies the saying, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?" And the veiled call to arms at the end is another example of how fear-mongering now substitutes for both analysis and debate.

If this is true, then it can be ruled as discrimination against the female gender. The reason I believe this may actually be true, is because China has seen that if there is no control in human birth, the resources may soon become insufficient to maintain a standard of life which we enjoy now. Overpopulation is becoming a serious threat to the world, even now in some parts of the world there is not enough clean water to provide the inhabitants a healthy supply for drinking or even personal hygiene. The fact remains that our planet is getting to the point where the human explosion in the next decades will more than triple. Common sense dictates that when people marry, if the children outnumbers the the parents, (two) then the problem increases. It is a matter of concern, but I believe we, as humans, do not allow ourselves to ponder the consequences which will become inevitable for future generations. However, in my opinion, child prevention before conception should be considered a solution, and not fetal abortion, which is criminal, and inhuman.
cyna 22-Apr-15, 06:37	@Stealth-Invader On China: I agree with you 100%. Prevention is the key.

In addition, abortion of fetuses was far more rare than of standard abortion. China has recently rescinded its one child per couple policy, as I understand it. Population is the source of most if not all of Earth's environmental problems. Had world population topped out at half a billion, all our issues would loom 1/14th as large as they are now. Instead of facing a water crisis in ten years or less, we would be facing one in 140 years or longer.
