Global Shortage of Women

Gender selection has become increasingly prevalent in the last few decades and, as a result, there is a global shortage of women in relation to the number of men.

Sex selection in countries such as China and India is now achieved mainly through ultrasound, followed by an abortion if the fetus is female. While the natural sex ratio is about 105 boys per 100 girls, in India it has climbed to 113 boys per 100 girls, and up to 156 boys per 100 girls in some regions.

The current sex ratio in China is about 120 boys per 100 girls, and in the more prosperous provinces it's even higher. Although both countries have banned sex selective abortion, India back in 1994 and China more recently, it is still widely practised.

It's ironic that the Planned Parenthood devotees of abortion, the same people who viscerally support women's rights, are at least partially responsible for fewer women being born and the resultant diminution of female voters and accompanying political strength. Democratic elections in India will never likely see a female majority casting ballots. Much more at the link.

Be careful what you wish for.
