...between the official "One Child" policy and the tacit cultural anti-woman attitude, China is the biggest purveyor of gynocide. And India isn't far behind. It's ironic that in some countries, it's almost acceptable practice to routinely offer abortion as the 'first' choice to a pregnant woman, which becomes almost no choice at all for women in the long term, since an astonishingly greater number of females are aborted than males each day, making it the biggest misogynistic hate-crime in the world. Add to that the potential for doing the same to 'future' homosexuals, inter-sexed and transgendered fetuses that might be identified by genetic research and testing, and the devastation would be global and catastrophic, since those labels still apply to some whom many consider as being as abnormal or 'damaged' as children with Downe's Syndrome or Cerebral Palsy; and who decides what is abnormal or abhorrent anyway? Please understand that I am not advocating for or against anything; just trying to be informative.

Of course I'm also a feminist, I think I have been even as a child. I was lucky that when I grew up my schools were integrated so I never LEARNED to think less of other races or girls for that matter.
I've always believed in the "my body my right" idea. I understand the Patriarchy cultures go back centuries and even some major religions still practice it in the most Orthodox/Stringent sects. What I can't wrap my head around is the idea of WANTING a child or children, and aborting your own because it isn't a certain kind of child. I say it this was because if it can happen one way, there could be a time where the reverse is also true.

I'm pro-choice for the mother's circumstances in life, not as a form of 'selection' of baby attributes.

to know that even the educated classes like researchers and doctors there, know that men are the ones responsible for determining the sex of babies, but they still allow this blatant travesty to go on. I read an article that talked about the despicable things that go on there. Even when female babies are allowed to be born, they are starved to death and denied medical care until they die. Mothers have been conditioned to resent their female children when they are born. Many villages in India have such a shortage of women that Human trafficking is taking place where women from other villages are sold to men in villages that have a shortage. It is long past time that the U.N Commission on Human Rights gets involved with this and puts a stop to this by educating these people about the truth of DNA and sex chromosomes. This has gone on long enough! These people apparently don't understand the concept of zero population growth, but they will unless they change their totally ignorant ways!
