I heard an interesting thing the other day that, to me, seemed hypocritical. I was listening to a program that was speaking about how a certain nation, (I believe it was China), aborted 5 times as many female's than male's. Here in the States some people have expressed disdain over this. But who was complaining? Was it Pro-Life advocates? No, actually the disdain was coming from the Pro-Choice camp.
This is completely paradoxical to me for obvious reasons. How can anyone who is Pro-Choice speak out against the abortion of a fetus because it seems one sex is being targeted? What difference does it make to them when they do not consider a fetus to be a human with basic rights in the first place? The sex of a fetus, whether male or female, is most often viewed as superfluous information at best to someone that believes abortion is a viable option. So why the concern only when it seems that one sex is being targeted?
So I ask the reader: Is it wrong to abort more female's than males?
"Somewhere at the back of my father's mind, at the bottom of his heart, in the depth of his soul, there was an empty space that had once been filled by God and he never found anything else to put in it... At the centre of me is always an eternally terrible pain - a curious wild pain - a searching for something beyond what the world contains." -Bertrand Russell
