Opinion 57

"By 1977, they determined, doctors in Seoul were performing 2.75 abortions for every birth -- the highest documented abortion rate in human history."

From this article on sex-selective abortion in Asia, and the Western funding that drove it.

Though I must say, there is a special creepiness in this article stemming from the fact that the author does not so much find moral outrage in the killing of 160 million persons, but in the fact that these killings were an affront to proportion and gender equality. But a good article despite the blaring moral blindness.

  1. Imagined conversation demonstrating another form of moral blindness for those who can't see the problem:

    Person 1: All the blacks are moving into my neighborhood, and its going to hell.

    Person 2: That is an outrageous statement!

    Person 1: I'm sorry. Yeah, I guess I was wrong to say that.

    Person 2: Absolutely. It's the Jews who are the problem.
