| Mr Khan said: That depends, however. Much of the pro-choice lobby still feels iffy on the actual matter of abortions, and see them more as a tool of last resort for an underpriveleged woman who cannot support more children, who are not eager to play fast and loose with potential human life but know that it's an important option to prevent long-term human misery, and these people would feel that gender-selective abortions would be trivializing this matter. So too, in that line of thought, would sexuality-selective abortions. |
A major pro-choice argument has always been that it's better for an unwanted child not to be born at all, so it shouldn't really matter why that child isn't wanted.
Anyway, they have it totally backwards. Girls aren't being devalued by sex selective abortions. They're being aborted because they are valued less than boys already.
