Pic of the Day: The REAL War on Women

Say it ain't so, Joe, please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear, Joe
And I've got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe, please

Say it ain't so
They keep on telling us lies, Joe
Please tell us it ain't so







The story: A young provincial couple was unable to pay the $6,500 fine to permit it to have a second child. The seven-month pregnant wife was dragged off to a hospital, where she was given an injection of poison to kill her baby and induce an abortion.

The outcry over this photograph has caused Chinese authorities to discipline the local officials who carried out the forced abortion. Without the outrage caused by the photo, they would have simply been doing their duty. After all, the interests of the state as defined by the party trump the interests of the individual. If the officials had not waited until the seventh month or had confiscated the photograph, this public relations mess could have been avoided.

Don't bother complaining to the Obama Administration.  Women’s rights, Human rights, etc. are not high up on the "To Do" List.  In fact, from the very beginning, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made it clear what the administration considers most important.  Climate Change usurps Human Rights.  Women's Rights are trumped by Sustainable Growth.  Trade barriers crowd out Tibet.   The huge stake in the prosperity and stability of Asia and the Pacific that both America and China have clearly drown-out any cries from preborn babies being ripped from their mothers' wombs to face a certain death.  Infanticide of a girl baby by a mum or dad is hardly ever treated as a crime.

The Bully Pulpit must be neutered for the United States needs China to buy Treasury Notes & Bonds.  Above all, the United States' need for Chinese money will in return buy our silence to many atrocities.

Of course, it doesn't hurt when some of our leaders kinda-sorta make the Sign of the UN and offer their blessings....




"But as I was talking to some of your leaders, you share a similar concern here in China. You have no safety net. Your policy has been one which I fully understand — I'm not second-guessing — of one child per family. The result being that you're in a position where one wage earner will be taking care of four retired people. Not sustainable."

- Vice-President Joe Biden



This is the reality of the policy which Joe Biden fully understands and would never second guess.

She was forced to abort, and then the tiny body of the seven-month-old child was left bleeding on a bed next to the woman. On 3 June, Feng Jianmei, a young Chinese woman from the country’s Shanxi region, experienced a double horror.
Missionary news agency AsiaNews reported that the woman was beaten and dragged into a vehicle by a group of Family planning employees, while her husband, Deng Jiyuan was at work. Population control had asked the family to pay 40 thousand Yuan (approximately 4 thousand Euro, the equivalent of three years’ work) for violating the one-child law. But they did not make the payment, so the authorities forced Jianmei to abort in her seventh month of pregnancy.

This is what 'policy' looks like. Beaten, dragged and forced to abort. A dead bleeding baby lying next to her distraught mother the result of violating 'policy.'

Why would we ever second guess that, Joe?



Better Question:  Who would NOT second, third, and fourth guess Joe Biden? 






Say It Ain't So, Joe, Please - Roger Daltrey

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
That's not what I want to hear Joe
And I've got a right to know

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
I'm sure they're telling us lies Joe, please tell us it ain't so

They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesn't know how to go on
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile
But the good ole days are gone

The army and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One man's word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce

Say it ain't so, Joe please
Say it ain't so
We pinned our hopes on you, Joe
And they're ruining our show


(Ooo, babies)
Don't you think we're gonna get burned
(Ooo, babies)
Don't you think we're gonna get turned
We're gonna get burned
