When you defy natural laws, you get unintended consequences.
Governmental officials like to think that they are omnipotent, that they can decree new laws and thereby coerce their subjects to submit to their will. They may tell you that they think that paying taxes (or otherwise complying with governmental edicts) is "patriotic," but that so-called "patriotism" is enforced with the jack booted thuggery of governmental power, which can toss you into prison or levy your income sources so that you can't feed or shelter your family.
They forget about those inalienable rights that have been given by a higher authority over which government has no power.
In China, the government has enforced a limit on procreation that most likely will backfire because it defies natural law. Ed Morrissey at Hotair describes how this will likely happen:
What do you get when you combine a Big Brother governmental decree on procreation with a cultural preference for one gender? A sociological bomb that will eventually destabilize the Big Brother government. China now has 32 million more men than women, a disparity that will continue to grow, thanks to their draconian one-child policies.
Expect trouble:
China has 32 million more young men than young women — a gender gap that could lead to increasing crime — because parents facing strict birth limits abort female fetuses to have a son, a study released Friday said.
The imbalance is expected to steadily worsen among people of childbearing age over the next two decades and could trigger a slew of social problems, including a possible spike in crime by young men unable to find female partners, said an author of the report published in the BMJ, formerly known as the British Medical Journal.
“If you’ve got highly sexed young men, there is a concern that they will all get together and, with high levels of testosterone, there may be a real risk, that they will go out and commit crimes,” said Therese Hesketh, a lecturer at the Centre for International Health and Development at University College London. She did not specify what kinds of crimes.
The study said analysis of China’s 2005 census data extrapolated that males under age 20 exceeded their female counterparts by a whopping 32 million.
