30 years of routine acceptance of choice on abortion--challenged

[kjoe]

I don't like colleen carroll campbell very much. I think her columns are whiny and ususally pointless. But I am having a hard time answering the point she makes with this column. Abortion is being used to allow more male children, and fewer female children to be born---the numbers will not affect me---I will be gone---but I think this is a significant philosophical problem for future generations.

Sadly, most American feminist leaders have remained silent in the face of this modern atrocity. Their refusal to brook any limits on abortion rights has led to one of the bitterest ironies of our post-feminist age: that the abortion license touted as the key to liberating future generations of women would become the preferred means of eradicating them.

SO... how would they know if a woman was getting an abortion because of the sex of the child??

And does anyone believe this is a big issue in the US?

How would they know remains the decisive question. I don't think it will be an issue in the U.S. for a long time.

But I am glad I will not be living in a world where there are more and more males, and fewer and fewer females.
