From the AP we have this story from India:
Around 10 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India over the past two decades because of ultrasound sex screening and a traditional preference for boys, according to a study published online in The Lancet...
The study published by the London-based medical journal comes on the heels of a report last October by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), which warned that infanticide or abortion was driving India towards a gender imbalance with alarming social consequences.
Afghanistan, China, Nepal, Pakistan and South Korea face similar problems, the UNFPA said.
This is really where the rubber meets the road for the pro-choice movement. After all, we're told that abortion is a private decision between a woman and her doctor. It is of no consequence to society and its none of our business, particularly if we can't get pregnant.
Yet, individual decisions add up. Liberals who tell us that we individually need to recycle should understand the idea that small individual actions have large societal consequences.
And what does the left say to something like what's going on in India? Its choice. Its the mother's right to choose. Yet, all these individual decisions according to the UNFPA are adding up to "alarming social consequences." If the left opposes it, it finds itself hypocrites. Or is wanting to look good in your wedding dress more valid than killing the child because its a girl?
Think of this story next time a liberal tells you abortion is about individual choice and remember that allowing the wrong choices can harm and even destroy a society.
