Moral Collapse at Ms. Magazine — Sex-Selection Abortion as a ‘Problem’

The appearance of that article does come as something of a surprise. After all, Ms., and the feminist movement it represents, insist that a woman must have the right to abort a pregnancy for any reason or for no reason. This claim, they have long insisted, is central to the very idea of reproductive freedom. So, what about sex-selection abortions — when it is female babies who are most commonly aborted?

On this issue, Ms. seems to have found cause for feminist concern. Wheeler explains that Indian women “are under severe pressure to bear sons.” She continues: “In fact, female infanticide and sex-selection abortion over the last two decades has led to a dearth of baby girls and an unnatural gender ratio.” This dearth of baby girls is described as a “problem.”

Some animals are more equal than others.

They have morals?

[BenKenobi]

It’s not just China and India that do this.

So to these deranged charlatans, it is still OK to kill unborn boys.

Someone should correct Ms Magazine - they have been saying for years that the pre-born are not people, they are not babies, just fetuses, or pieces of tissue.

You aren’t getting rid of girl babies, Ms Magazine, just fetuses. They aren’t people yet, by the 40 years of corrections you’ve given to other people saying they aren’t babies.

I just love it. Abortion is only wrong when the left says it is. I just cannot believe the hypocrisy.

Abortion, a woman's issue. Future women will not be born.

Everyone has morals. It’s what the morals are founded on that determine whether they are good ones or evil ones.

[Malone LaVeigh]

We can only pray that embarrassment over this article might force some readers of Ms. magazine to rethink the entire question

Don't hold your breath.

Of course! It's all about them.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

There’s no moral outrage. Raging feminazis haven’t suddenly come to a realization about what abortion does. What they care about is aborting female babies. They don’t give a danm about killing unborn baby boys. If they had their way, all men would be eliminated and all births would be through cloning.

Great point!

Young people outside the church aren't being taught this.

There is lethal disease which is the #1 leading cause of prenatal death and tends to affect females at a greater rate.

This disease is called liberalism and its agents need to be destroyed.

[Caipirabob]

Wait until someone invents a “believable” method for these freaks to determine if someone is gay. Should work wonders on their moral perspective...

[wmfights]

Amen

Women have been so short changed by "feminism" it's hard to understand why so many women still buy into it.

[Nonstatist]

Abortion by definition is “selection”. Of course its not going to be the same rate across the board. The weaker among us will be first in line to go ( the poor, the disabled, females,..).

[MichiganConservative]

It’s not just China and India that do this.

I was surprised at the implication that feminists, not Indians or Chinese, have morals.

[MichiganConservative]

Feminism helps women serve the Father of Lies.

[MichiganConservative]

...t's hard to understand why so many women still buy into it.

Probably for the same reason that women were not allowed to vote.

Maybe Ms. Magazine will address the fact that most liberal men defend pornography.
