. . .You don't have to be a feminist to know that being a girl is not a birth defect, or to be horrified by a practice that lethally reinforces the most benighted forms of sexual discrimination. For what kind of feminist would it be who could contemplate the use of abortion to eliminate ever-greater numbers of girls, and not cry out in horror?

bump; FGM, in the name of multiculturalism is as odious if not more so.

Feminist in their quest for “women’s rights” in their support of “abortion at anytime for any reason” and their total disgust for western culture and Christianity - are now responsible for the killings of millions and millions of girls...

Obviously, like any prolife supporter, I find abortion for sex selection (or for any reason for that matter) abhorrent.

However, ironically, aborting females does raise their ‘value.’ More males and less females increases the demand for the remaining females.

[This] prompts an awkward question: How exactly are American women empowered when abortion is deployed to prevent the existence of American girls?

Here's how liberals react when they confront contradictions arising from their naive and unrealistic philosophy: they simply avert their eyes. They cover their ears and chant la-la-la-la-la.

This is why their house of cards always falls eventually. But oh, the cost.

My daughter is 11 and she is more precious to me than life itself.

She hugs me and tells me she loves me at least 5 times a day each and every day.

Daughters are a blessing from the Lord, like manna from heaven.

Though I don't have much money I am a very wealthy man.

Not disagreeing with the thrust of the article, but the math looks fuzzy. In the example he cites of Asian families in the US, the probability of the second child after one girl being a son being 1.15 - 1 (ratio) then the third child after two girls being 1.5 - 1, that is natural, in fact it should be higher, simply because it is unlikely to have several children of the same gender in a row. Like flipping a coin and getting several heads or tails in a row.

I thought the natural sex ratio was slightly female biased, 105/100 in female’s favor. This is the first time I’ve read otherwise.

I remember reading a study several years ago that correlated a sex unbalance (an excess of males) in a country with the warlike actions of their government. We all know that cause is not the same as correlation, but it does not sound good with China.
