Joe Biden’s macabre support of China’s forced abortion/sterilization one-child policy
Vice President Joe Biden is known for his foolish gaffes and inappropriate statements – not positive attributes, particularly in a politician.
But what Biden said in China on August 20 was beyond foolish and inappropriate. It was macabre, it was sick…

I never thought anyone could match Barack Obama’s penchant for abortion. As you know, he supports abortion to the point of condoning infanticide. But Biden has done that. I now consider Obama and Biden a fully matched pro-abortion pair, the most radically extremist abortion proponents to run America’s executive branch ever…
In context, a soundbite that sounds awful enough standing alone gets even worse:
Question from Chinese student: … China holds about $1 trillion U.S. bonds of treasury bonds…. You seem to have instilled the confidence of the U.S. financial well-being into young people today because I heard you say that the U.S. economy is really resilient…. So we would like to hear more about what measures you’re going to implement to reduce those deficits and redeem the financial strength of America.
Biden: … [W]e have to deal with two elements of our economy. One is what we call entitlement programs – long-term commitments to our people in the area of particularly Medicare. That is the safety net we have for people once they reach the age of 65 to be able to be assured that they have health care.
And it is not sustainable without some changes in large part because we had what we call a baby boom, which doesn’t sound like much to Chinese — 40 million people is not a big deal, I know. (Laughter.) But adding 40 million people to those who will benefit from the Medicare – Medicaid payment – Medicare payments has put the program in a position where changes have to be made.
It’s easy to make those changes, and we had a tentative agreement to do that between the major political leaders of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and the administration. But there is a group within the Republican Party that is a very strong voice now that did – wanted different changes, and so that deal fell through at the very end.
What we ended up doing is setting up a system whereby we did cut by $1.2 trillion upfront, the deficit over the next 10 years. And we set up a group of senators that have to come up with another $1.2 to $1.7 trillion in savings or automatically there will be cuts that go into effect in January to get those savings. So the savings will be accomplished. 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.
So hopefully we can act in a way on a problem that’s much less severe than yours, and maybe we can learn together from how we can do that.
There is no way a White House spokesperson can tap dance around the Biden’s morbid endorsement (“I fully understand”) of China’s one-child forced abortion and sterilization policy.
One doesn’t have to dig deep to understand China’s policy is nationalized torture of its people on the grandest scale possible, something even Obama’s pro-abortion Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has publicly condemned.
Furthermore, China’s policy even has its own leaders second-guessing what Biden says he will not: the phenomenon of aborting baby girls on purpose, which has created a “demographic disaster,” in the words of liberal NBC News, which reported seven years ago that within eight to 10 years China would be facing “40 to 60 million missing women.” The consequences of this are unknown. Human history has never seen such a gender imbalance.
Biden’s only apparent problem with China’s forced one-child policy is logistics. While the US has the “safety net” of a government funded entitlement program for its elderly, China does not. Its elderly must rely on progeny for care, and the 1:4 ratio is “not sustainable,” according to Biden.
Yet Biden is so blind he cannot see the U.S. has created its own dearth of progeny through personal population (birth) control and abortion. Biden lamented that the baby boom had produced a big bubble of 40 million Americans that our current system cannot handle.
Yet it was America’s baby boomers who began aborting their own children on a grand scale. Since 1973 Americans have aborted approximately 55 million taxpayers.
What a fool Biden is. But his foolishness doesn’t end there.
Biden brought his granddaughter Naomi along with him to China.
Naomi wouldn’t even be here were Biden a Chinese citizen.
Naomi is the daughter of Biden’s second son, Hunter.
One other point not to be missed was that while Biden went to great lengths to show support for China’s underbelly, he threw fellow Americans – tea partiers – under the bus.

Jill,
No surprise here. Biden was the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman who conspired with Ted Kennedy in 1987 to destroy Judge Bork and his nomination to the Supreme Court. He, more than anyone, made abortion the litmus test for SCOTUS.
CATHOLICS, Y U NO EXCOMMUNICATE BIDEN?!
What? I am shocked, this coming from the class act policitician who said within microphone range, “This is a big ___in’ deal” regarding passage of the Health Care bill.
xalisae – he has already done that all by himself!
No, Lee. I mean formerly recognized by the Catholic Church and Her officials. People like this make Catholicism a joke. I want to go back, but I refuse while things like this are allowed to persist.
The hair plugs did not do anything to enhance the contents.
Joe Biden’s head is as empty as mr. bo-jangles suit.
Woody Allen once made a film caled What’s Up, Tiger Lily?, in which a dramatic Japanese spy movie was re-dubbed in English with completely new, comic dialog.
I think we ought to do the same with Mel Brookes ‘Blazing Saddles’ using a ’b o’ impersonator for Clevon Little’s voice.
Any suggestions for the rest of the characters?
I believe it was Chris Rock who once suggested the one single thing a president could do to ensure his saftey would be to have a black man for a vice president.
b o has ensured his life will be protected by selecting a nincompoop like Joe Biden to be his vice president.
Every time Joe Biden opens his mouth on life issues, I brace myself to be embarrassed as a Catholic. He is a real fool or a cruel man to speak like he does. He should be openly excommunicated.
But, he’s not. And since the Church is more about coming to Jesus than it is (rightly!) excommunicating JB, I’m not going to allow JB to separate me from the Truth, my Lord and God.
Hopefully a bishop or two will start to get how scandal affects you and me and so many others, Xalisae. Until then, take heart and come home to your dysfunctional family. Call out the problems from within.
I’m sorry, Mary Ann, but a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.
I have very few friends. There is a good reason for this. Far too many people I’ve known won’t accept me for my convictions. Far too many people I know I will not associate myself with because of their inclinations.
I’m discerning when it comes to my associations. I’m not about to go to a church that would require me to lower my standards.
Well, X, I predict you will have a really hard time finding a group of believers large or small that is perfect. And I don’t think that’s what Jesus would ask of you anyway.
But you are free to try to find the lump with no leaven, and I wish you the best in your search. Clearly you have a great wit and love for human life, and I always enjoy your posts. :)
I don’t really see that he endorsed the one-child policy with this statement. Seems like he just wanted to soften the blow of what he was about to say to me. Meh.
Well, Mary Ann, perhaps one day we’ll strike that perfect chord together, but as of right now, I’m wont to worship in my own way, privately anyhow. So maybe it’s mostly that I’m not ready for them, rather than the other way around. Since recanting my atheism, I’ve found that I feel faith is something intensely personal to me, and something I have a hard time expressing sincerely in public. And by my nature, if I cannot be sincere, I’d rather not be at all.
I still feel that if a principle is in the very foundation and intrinsic to an institution, certain individuals have no purpose being there other than to cause strife and attempt to tear that entity down. Pro-legal-abortionists in the Catholic Church, for one. Pro-legal-abortionists in the republican party, for another. I’m not asking for perfection. I’m asking for truth in advertisement.
And thank you for your very kind words. ;)
hi Xalisae. I like your comments because I also believe that the truth comes with in, and that is what it help us to come together on this issues. just about one detail want you to think.l about organizations and institutions and false advertising: we live in America the land of the freedom and where we all have rights protected by the law. is not the institution, church, organization, country, etc that fails. The perversion of humanity is precisely when we move away from the truth. God loves you because of you.
All Biden said is he understands why china would want to limit it’s population growth and have a policy of one child per family. He also said it was unsustainable, and I bet you he even has some criticisms regarding how they go about it. He was speaking about the economy, however, and it was the the time to rip into his hosts. Meh
I sure hope nothing happens to Obama, because that would mean Biden would be president.
How humiliating that would be.
“All Biden said is he understands why china would want to limit it’s population growth and have a policy of one child per family. He also said it was unsustainable,”
Let me see if I got this straight.
China has a one child policy because population growth is unsustainable.
And China’s one child policy causes population decline which is also unsustainable.
Therefore,… uh, um,
Okay someone else finish it for me.
Also, China’s actual total fertility rate is about 1.8, which is about the same as whites in the USA.
“CATHOLICS, Y U NO EXCOMMUNICATE BIDEN?! :
No X, in fact Biden is a Catholic in good standing who receives communion. No Bishop has told him otherwise as far as I know. Also, Ted Kennedy voted for abortion rights hundreds of times got a Catholic funeral fit for a saint.
So, there’s no real penalty for Catholic politicians who vote for abortion. Yes, it’s written in the cathecism that they shouldn’t but I don’t think the Bishops seem to really care.
Satan visited Hyannisport Mass on a hot summer day in 1964 I’m sure you all know the story.
How Catholic Politicians can Vote for Abortion with a ‘Clear Conscience’

No X, in fact Biden is a Catholic in good standing who receives communion. No Bishop has told him otherwise as far as I know. Also, Ted Kennedy voted for abortion rights hundreds of times got a Catholic funeral fit for a saint. So, there’s no real penalty for Catholic politicians who vote for abortion. Yes, it’s written in the cathecism that they shouldn’t but I don’t think the Bishops seem to really care.
I’d add one correction: there’s often no real earthly penalty for Catholic politicians who vote for (or otherwise support) abortion… and many bishops who are duty-bound to declare such excommunications (but refuse) will face a judgment from Almighty God that makes me tremble. The whole purpose of excommunication is to “shake the sinner” into the grim awareness that he/she’s on a fast-track to hell, that he/she has sinned in such a fundamental way as to cut themselves off even from the Sacrament of Confession, and that they need to repent immediately and completely. Those bishops who deny this medicinal treatment (or, more accurately, deny them the awareness of the fact that they’ve excommunicated themselves) are denying one of God’s last-ditch efforts at extending mercy to those deluded souls… just as a pro-death doctor might smilingly take a needed syringe of antidote away from a poisoning victim. God have mercy on them.
Excommunication means not just a denial of sacraments. As evident by the literal latin ex (out of) and communicare (participation or togetherness), it also means excommunicants are outside the participation of the community of believers; and as others have pointed out, an unrepentent sinner already does that to him/her self.
The Church needs to rattle the keys, Christ did not lightly give them to Peter.
Paladin,
Yes thats correct.
Even the mainstream media is getting on the bandwagon. Articles about twin reduction and Biden’s idiotic comments are doing our job for us among people who’ve sat on the fence about abortion. I’ve donated a lot of money to pro-life (such as CPC’s) but this kind of publicity? Priceless.
xalisae, you might want to consider the Church of Christ, conservative wing. It’s not Catholic, the congregations are usually tiny- 30 to 60 people- and the people work very hard to be very pure. People do get called out on, from the pulpit. My MIL has been a devout member for 30 or 40 years. It’s a very disciplined, focused life.
I also love the Orthodox churches, such as the Syriac Orthodox and Greek Orthodox. They have the same age and pedigree as the Catholic and in the early days it was all one church.
However, if you are looking for a group of perfect people, you will never find the right group ;>) .
Paladin: From one evangelical to another, ;-) well said.
However, if you are looking for a group of perfect people, you will never find the right group ;>) .
I’d say X has already found the right group of perfect people (well almost anyway) here at Jill’s! :)
I wonder if Biden and Pelosi even attend a church on a regular basis. A lot of people think showing up at midnight mass on Christmas eve makes them Catholic.
xalisae -You are ALWAYS welcome to return to the Church – to attend Mass – to sit in Adoration – to be still with Our Lord…anytime!
There are people in my parish that I wonder “what the HECK are they doing here? Them with all their sin and their willful ways…” and then I remember – I too have fallen short. And my question is really a question of my pride and not their sins. So, that pride is my sin, not theirs…shoot! ( – :
The Church moves very slowly – much too slowly for my liking at times – and yes, it would be wonderful if the bishops of this country were to call out (some do!) sinners publicly, but that is not what the Church does.
The Church continually seeks to reconcile sinners to Christ – that is her mission. And, I am so grateful for that.
I would love to discuss this further with you off list – if you want. I believe one of the moderators would be able to connect our email addresses.
God Bless –
I’m not saying that I want the church to point out and chastize sinners. We all sin, myself included (if not especially). I just don’t want to associate myself with a group who will not take a stand and act on their convictions and speak up for the smallest among us. I would. I do. And there is a lot of sin. There is a lot of sin that I feel is not my business. However, the killing of innocents in abortion is EVERYONE’S business, and I feel especially the church. And as long as the leadership refuses to take a stand, I do not want myself counted with them.
But if you’d like to talk about this further, you have my permission to get in contact with me. :)
I gave xalisae your email address, Lee.
:)
Have fun!

“Every time Joe Biden opens his mouth on life issues, I brace myself to be embarrassed as a Catholic.”
M A,
It is more basic than that.
If I were catholic, I could choose some other religion.
If I were a resident of Delaware, I could move to different state.
I could renounce my U. S. citizenship and be a man without a country.
But everytime Joe Biden opens his mouth, I am embarrased to be a male and a human and I cannot change either of those realities.
Good old “open mouth insert foot” Joe Biden. You could not make up this stuff the vice-president to the most pro-abort president ever in the U.S., pats China on the head and says he “understands” why China forces women to mutilate, dismember and destroy their unborn to control their population.
Will you leave Jesus because of Judas? I say, no. Don’t leave Jesus because of Judas, nor Pelosi, nor Biden. They have used their free will. They are the weeds growing among the wheat.
When Jesus gave a particularly hard teaching, many of his followers left him. He turned to his disciples and asked them if they were also going to leave.
“To whom would we go? You, Lord, have the words of eternal life.”
Even the mainstream media is getting on the bandwagon. Articles about twin reduction and Biden’s idiotic comments are doing our job for us among people who’ve sat on the fence about abortion
I just wish that our pro-life politicians would start making issues like selective reduction and sex-selective abortion part of the national debate. I bet most people in the middle do not even understand to what extent these practices exist. For instance, I would assume most people have no clue that our tax dollars support forced abortions in China and it would be great if our side would scream it from rooftops, but they don’t. It always seems like our side is always running away from the abortion issue and then they seem so defensive when grilled about the “hard” cases. Are they afraid of turning off independents? I don’t know, but I think that if our side went on the offensive and properly articulated an honest pro-life position then they would win more votes then they would lose. It is time that the real truth about the abortion industry be brought to the masses.
Xalisae, you;d love my Bishop, Fabian Bruskewitz. Right after his installation as Bishop in the early 1990s (I think 1992) he excommunicated those who belonged to groups such as Call to Action.
I’ll pray for you, if its okay, as you discern whether to go back to Church,
Ken the birther … GOOD ONE!!!
Thanks Carla – and I should add – anyone, anyone at all, who wishes to attend a Mass, or simply come and sit in a Catholic church is welcome at ANY time! Some of the churches are locked for security reasons during the night, but most are open all day long. You do not need to be Catholic, you do not need to be “good” … just come as you are – God LOVES you.
What a lunatic.\

rasqual,
Yes, I heard “Captain Ed” refer to this article when he filled in for Hugh Hewitt last evening. Am I the only one who remembers that Sarah Palin trounced this buffoon in their debate – especially on foreign policy, which was supposed to be the reason he was on the ticket?
He’s insane. Like Cheney to Bush, Biden makes Obama assassination-proof.
Is that all veeps are good for anymore?
Liz, if I am not mistaken, Bishop Bruskewitz also declared politicians who support abortion are not in a state of repentance to receive the sacraments, and he would deny communion to those politicians.
