“I Paid $50,000 for a Girl”

by

I think future generations will look back on our insane notion of “reproductive rights,” and they will be horrified. Back in the 70s reproductive rights meant terminating a life you already started. Today it also means creating life however you see fit and tossing out whatever doesn’t suit your desires. So not only have we […]

Sex-selection Abortions and China’s Brutality: Shall We “Gulp and Get Over It”?

by

When Slate.com editor Allison Benedikt wrote last week that the pro-choice movement in America needs to stop being squeamish about sex-selection abortions and just accept it, I thought my head might explode, but ultimately I said nothing. One can only respond to so many outrageous things said by the abortion industry and its advocates, and […]

Aborting Women’s Rights

by

They say what goes around comes around, or to paraphrase the Good Book, you reap what you sow.  Nowhere is this more in evidence than in recent global data on abortion.  For years, feminists have maintained that women will not be truly free or equal unless they are free to abort their unborn children.  They have sought […]

by

Sex-selection abortions have been illegal in Great Britain since 1967. But that hasn’t been stopping British abortionists from performing them.

The Three Deadliest Words in the World: “It’s a Girl!”

by

It’s a Girl: The Three Deadliest Words in the World is a documentary on the 200 million missing girls in the world today. Aborted, killed after birth or abandoned because they are girls. Deeply-rooted prejudice against girls and ill-conceived government policies against human beings produced this mass slaughter. I haven’t seen the film, but it’s […]

Shattering Myths About Sex Selective Abortion One night in 1978 a student in Delhi’s most prestigious obstetrics program reported for his first delivery.
