Ted Turner cannot be as stupid as he acts can he? I mean he made billions of dollars, he is no dummy. Yet, he says some of the most inane things. His latest? Defending China for it’s population control
I couldn’t believe it when I heard Ted Turner (on the Diane Rehm Show) cite China as a good example of population control. As far back as I can remember, I have always heard that china would take or kill any children you had after having one child. Well, it is true, but nowadays it is more in the form of forced abortions. It doesn’t take much to find articles citing women who have been dragged to a facility where the chinese government forcibly aborted their child. Just google it. This is a quote from Ted that goes virtually unchallenged from Diane:
“We do have the example of China, and they’ve done it without, uh, draconian, as far as I can see, draconian steps.”
No draconian steps? How about FORCED abortions Ted? This is incredible, absolutely incredible! Turner, the ultimate capitalist, seems to love the ideals practiced by Communist China. Of course, given his ultra-radical views on climate change (he recently said that global warming will lead to mass cannibalism soon), maybe his support of forced abortions is understandable after all.
