"Reasonably Enlightened" China Is Brutal Toward Girls

Communist Country... a country much admired by Progressive Leftists like Thomas Freidman and Barack Obama because of its ability to steamroll personal freedom for the glory of building a more impressive state ... has long pursued policies of zero population growth through aggressive, coercive abortion. (Policies spoken of favorably by Obama Eugenics Czar John Holdren).
What do you imagine its like growing up as a girl in a culture where only one child per family is allowed by the Government, and only male children are considered valuable within the culture? A young Chinese woman describes growing up under the Authoritarian Regime so admired by our Progressive Left.
Where I come from, people talk about smothering a baby girl or just throwing it[!]into a stream ... to be eaten by dogs, as if it were a joke. How much do you think these women loved their babies?
Of course, many on the progressive left have the same attitude toward "unwanted" children, they just prefer to have their brains scrambled when they're still in the womb. Socialism is an inherently dehumanizing philosophy, manifested in neglected patients in state-run hospitals, the systemic elimination of those deemed inconvenient to the state's purposes, and the replacement of human compassion with bureaucratic indifference.
