It’s A Girl? I’m Having An Abortion

The effort by Western groups like Planned Parenthood International to promote legalization of abortion throughout the world has produced a strange side effect: the mass-scale killing of female fetuses. Several years ago the New York Review of Books published an article on the tens of millions of women “missing” around the world because they were killed off before being born.
.
In India, the practice of female feticide has eliminated approximately 10 million women. The country has a preponderance of men over women–1000 women for every 927 men. Recognizing the growing problem, the government is now taking steps to monitor abortions based on sex selection. Health minister Renuka Chowdhury says she wants to make sure there are “valid and acceptable reasons” for abortion. Ah, yes, but the moment you admit that, you abandon the logic of abortion-on-demand, which is that abortions should be entirely the decision of the person having them.
.
In the West, a new issue looms on the horizon. If homosexuality has a genetic component, technology is making it more likely that pregnant women will be able to tell whether their unborn child is going to be gay or not. Once this happens, it’s quite possible that we will see lots of people opting to abort homosexual fetuses. Anti-gay prejudice need not be the reason; many parents may simply not want a son or daughter to go through the difficulties of being gay in a largely heterosexual society. We can expect to hear things like, “I’m doing this for its own sake.”
.
Today the safest place for unborn girls in India, China, and many other countries is in the womb of religious women and women who oppose abortion. Similarly the cultural left may soon discover that the safest place for gay fetuses in America and Europe are the wombs of evangelical Christians and prolife women.
