I'm jealous that Jews don't have that many children yet evil people do and get away with it.
Dr. Dan, I attended a Hineni lecture about a few weeks ago given by Rebbetzin Esther Jungreis. She discussed infertility in the Bible. Remember that Sarah was unable to conceive for a long time. Also Isaac and Rebecca were unable to conceive, and they prayed for 20 years for G-d to give them a child.
She said that G-d did that for a reason. Back in those days, the people then regularly had lots of children, which they would sacrifice in the fire to their deities. She said that G-d wanted the Biblical Patriarchs and Matriarchs to appreciate the children they did have.
Rubystars brought up the example of what *some* Chinese and Indian people do with their girl babies. That is indeed a form of child sacrifice.
However, we see some forms of it in America, where women will get abortions because of the mere "inconvenience" of having a child, and how it will affect their careers.
A few months ago, there was a video of a woman working at Walmart with a young daughter. She said flat out to the news reporters that she needed her job more than she needed her child. Luckily, a relative agreed to care for the young girl. But what a sick thing for a mother to say about her own child!
