Where There Are No Children, There Are No Grown-Ups

Well-intended neglect
Naomi Schaefer Riley | City Journal
Even if babies born exposed to drugs in utero do not have physical birth defects, they are still being sent home with parents who may not be capable of caring for them. These children are not getting the kind of nurturing essential to proper social and intellectual development. Even worse, their parents may not be paying attention to their safety and well-being. In our quest to make up for past mistakes, we can’t ignore these facts.

INDIA VS. CHINA ON DEMOGRAPHY

Population race: India to overtake China ‘in 3 to 5 years’
BY ASIA TIMES STAFF
China's population growth rate of 0.59% meant it recently ranked 159th worldwide

China finally wants more kids. But there are problems.
Mark Wang and Cecilia Joy-Perez | AEIdeas

Mark Wang and Cecilia Joy-Perez write: After decades of blind faith in its draconian one child policy, the CCP is waking up to the problems of low fertility. China’s population is greying rapidly, reducing the size of the PRC labor force. But whether the CCP will be successful in raising fertility rates is another question all together. Because, needless to say, Beijing is going about its newfound reproductive zeal with its signature Orwellian style. - American Enterprise Institute

MIDDLE EAST FORUM: TURKY'S CHILD BRIDES

Child Brides in Turkey
by Burak Bekdil • July 30, 2018 at 5:00 am

According to Turkish Philanthropy Funds, 40% of girls under the age of 18 in Turkey are forced into marriage.
"Low education" means almost all of Turkey: The average schooling in the country is a mere 6.5 years.
In January 2018, a government body under President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's jurisdiction suggested that, according to Islamic law, girls as young as 9 and boys as young as 12 could marry.
In Turkey you may abuse a 13-year-old and walk free, but you may not tease the president.

I am hurtling in a high-speed train from Glasgow to London, with a heavy heart saying farewell to my native land, a sentiment that should live within us all. It is the memorial of Saint Charbel Maklouf, a Lebanese priest, ascetic and mystic, as well as the vigil of Saint James the Greater, whose feast […]

Humanae Vitae’s Challenge to Modernity
John M. Grondelski
July 25, 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of Pope Paul VI’s encyclical, Humanae Vitae (HV). That encyclical, and its subsequent contestation in certain “Catholic” circles, has been a defining moment of the past half-century. The central teaching of HV (#12) is that there is an “inseparable connection, established by God, which man on his own initiative […]

The good news about black men in America
W. Bradford Wilcox, Wendy Wang, and Ronald Mincy | CNN.com
Despite a portrait of race relations that often highlights the negative, especially regarding black men, the truth is that most black men will not be incarcerated, are not unemployed, and are not poor — even if black men are more likely than other men to experience these outcomes. In fact, millions of black men are flourishing in America today.
