[James C. Bennett]

And traditional western notions of morality are out with them: they are the ones who kill girl babies in sex selected abortions. Another reason to severely curtail immigration from non Western countries

Out of every 2000 Americans alive, 8 additional Americans were murdered through abortion whereas out of every 2000 Indians alive, only one additional Indian ended up being aborted. For such a high abortion rate in America, the fact that it has a population about a fourth of India's makes the statistic that much more shameful. It would take stupendously astonishing churzpah for someone belonging to a population producing these shameful statiatics to be on a high horse regarding this very issue.

I notice China's not on that list. Perhaps because post-natal murder isn't included in the criteria for "abortions?" Or do those statistics only include the "legal" reported ones?

Reliability of third world statistical data aside—one child, forced abortion China is not on the top twenty list—, abortion is simply not an option for most Indians. They can't afford it, or any other kind of medical procedure. But among those for whom it is an option, the middle classes, sex-selection abortion is widespread. Here in the USA Indians account for nearly all sex-selection abortions and contribute disproportionately to our own admittedly “shameful” statistics. Yes ,”shameful”, but no reason to import more of it.
