Sex-Selective Abortions Come Home

Sex-Selective Abortions Come Home - By Steven W. Mosher - The Corner - National Review Online: “There is such a thing as too many daughters, but not too many sons,” Dr. Sunita Puri was told by the Asian-Indian women she was interviewing. The physician, who practices in the Bay Area, wanted to find out why so many immigrant Indian women in the United States were so eager to find out the sex of their unborn children, and why so many of them choose abortion when they found out they were carrying a girl.

What she discovered over the course of 65 interviews conducted over several years profoundly shocked her. Fully 89 percent of the women carrying girls opted for an abortion, and nearly half had previously aborted girls. Puri’s report, published in Social Science and Medicine this last April, makes for grim reading.
