Back in June I reviewed a book, Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men by Mara Hvistendahl. The upshot of that book is that after amniocentesis was developed in the 1970's female fetuses have become the favorite target of abortionists. Ironically the choice to abort females, Ms Hvistendahl writes, is almost always made by other females, usually the mother and her mother or mother-in-law. This practice is skewing the gender balance quite seriously in some parts of the world. Of course China with its one child policy has the greatest gender imbalance with a ratio of 121 males to every 100 females but other countries such as India with ratio of 112 male to 100 females are not far behind.
While celebrating the anniversary of Roe v Wade the executive director of Planned Parenthood, the nation's leading abortion mill until Obama can force the Catholic Church in to the fetus destruction market was asked about gender based abortion. Angie Murie was nonjudgmental in her clients' decision to kill future women. “I wrestle with gender-based abortion more than any other reason [for having an abortion]...From a macro perspective, I don’t think it is a good idea for us to be eliminating women. But if you look at it at the individual level, which is what we do, I don’t have any right to say that one person’s reason is better or worse than another’s.”
Killing future women is okay with the executive director of an organization whose whole concern is women's health? Gender discrimination in the work place is bad but gender discrimination in the abortion mill is not something liberals would want to fight.
