THE POINT OF ABORTION IS EUGENICS:
When a Boy's Life Is Worth More Than His Sister's (VALERIE HUDSON, ANDREA DEN BOER, JULY 30, 2015f, Foreign Policy)
The list of countries where girls are culled from the population -- either actively (through sex-selective abortion) or passively (through inadequate nutrition and healthcare) -- is growing and has been for well over a decade. The phenomenon, previously concentrated in Asia, is now increasingly common in countries in southeastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Unless aggressively addressed, cultural diffusion will spread the practice even further, with disastrous consequences not only for women, but also for the stability of the nations in which these practices become normative.
