Book Review: Unnatural Selection

Book Review: Unnatural Selection - WSJ.com: In her book Unnatural Selection, Ms. Hvistendahl is particularly worried that the 'right wing' or the 'Christian right'—as she labels those whose politics differ from her own—will use sex-selective abortion as part of a wider war on abortion itself. She believes that something must be done about the purposeful aborting of female babies or it could lead to 'feminists' worst nightmare: a ban on all abortions.'

It is telling that Ms. Hvistendahl identifies a ban on abortion—and not the killing of tens of millions of unborn girls—as the 'worst nightmare' of feminism. Even though 163 million girls have been denied life solely because of their gender, she can't help seeing the problem through the lens of an American political issue. Yet, while she is not willing to say that something has gone terribly wrong with the pro-abortion movement, she does recognize that two ideas are coming into conflict.
