Abortion and gender selection in Asia
I'm strongly pro-choice on abortion. The ability of women to decide whether and when to have children has been a tremendous social advance. But I'm also troubled by the trend in some developing countries of using ultrasound and abortion for the purpose of gender selection, almost always by aborting female fetuses. FuturePundit collects several articles about abortion and gender selection in China, India and South Korea, which has led to young generations with heavily skewed male/female ratios.
