Garbage In, Garbage Out

When people occasionally ask me why I'm a conservative, I reply, "I think, therefore I am." That results in them demanding, "You mean liberals don't think?" I respond with, "Garbage in, garbage out." This story is a perfect example of what I mean.
BEIJING, April 23, 2006 (AFP) - China's male-dominated gender imbalance will not prompt the government to change its stringent family planning policy, state press reported Sunday. "The major reason for China's rising sex ratio is the entrenched concept of 'boys are better than girls'," said Zhang Weiqing, director of the National Population and Family Planning Commission. He blamed the gender imbalance on the use of ultra-sound technology that allows families to identify the sex of fetuses and abort girls.
No, Mr. Zhang, the major reason for China's gender imbalance is NOT the use of ultra-sound technology that allows people to abort girls. The major reason for China's rising male sex ratio is ABORTION. Ban abortion and within a generation, your sex ratio will stabilize again. Garbage in, garbage out.
