Abortions by Sex Cause Vietnamese Boy Boom

- Vietnam is seeing a boom in male births as increasing numbers of parents opt for sex-specific abortions. In 2001, the sex ratio in Vietnam was close to the biological norm of 105 male births per 100 female births, but this reached 111 to 100 by 2007.... Read full article »

    Give me one source where feminists have spoken out against sex selection abortions. I'm eagerly awaiting your response.

    They don't. They are afraid that it might impact the abortions and are willing to sacrifice killing the girls so that no one asks those questions.

    I agree. However Gingey stated that "there has been much talk about this sexism." so it must be true. She would never just make up a claim out of thin air. I really can't wait for her to state her source. I'm very interested in what she is reading for her to make that claim.

    This is sad and really sucks! What else can I say? So when they all reach maturity who will they marry and who will be the mothers of future generations? I am too upset to say anything else. The implications and thoughts going through my head are huge.

    The same thing is going on in China...it looks like the earth is going to have a lot of Asian man and they will lead themselves to extinction.

    Nah, half will become women and through cloning or womb transplants there will be even more of them. Hell, looks like 10% of the men over there are becoming women anyway so why not kill all the women and make half the men into females to replace them?

    If you believe in pro choice then please observe the principles you believe in. If it's the mothers body and it's not a human life until it's born...then if that's what you believe, you have no right to oppose this. If the mother has the right to choose abortion for any reason because it's her body...then she has the right to selectively abort a female fetus because its female. If it's not a human life until it's born then it's not a female, it's a clump of cells which may appear to be a human female, but it's not. Much like a potato may look like George Bush jr...that doesn't mean it's him although it could be his twin brother cloned from a cell in the lining of his stomach.

    Believe me, I am against this idea as much as anyone but let's set the record straight here.

    Feminists and Roe vs Wade set the standard. Pro Choicers are bound by this standard. The fact someone is exploiting the rules Pro Choicers themselves set and enforce is what is relevant here. After a friend of mine killed himself because his soon to be wife aborted their first unborn child, I am staunchly against anyone who contradicts themselves on these matters. If you are Pro Choice then you accept that unborn fetuses are being aborted for no more reason than a woman isn't ready to be a mother or for any reason s...

If you are Pro Choice then you accept that unborn fetuses are being aborted for no more reason than a woman isn't ready to be a mother or for any reason she may give to justify an abortion because it's her body. Whether it's cultural or not is irrelevant because the feminists should have thought about what they were promoting from the viewpoint half the worlds population favors male children and would abort female fetuses if given the right to choose.

    I'm sure many Pro Choicers will disagree with that but let's face facts, if the mother has the right to choose and the Pro Choice movement basically reduces an unborn fetus to a clump of cells to be cut up and removed piece by piece even when it could have survived outside the mothers womb...I have no respect for anyone now crying that something like this is wrong. I am not a Pro Lifer and I am not a Pro Choicer...I believe in Pro Necessity and if you think killing all these female fetuses through selective abortion is wrong, then get on the bandwagon with me and let's support this matter for what it is...NECESSITY!

    Pro Lifers are told by the extreme side in their movement that if they don't support them that the Pro Choicers will force legislation on them making abortion legal for any reason. That's not what pro Choicers want but it is what the extreme Pro Choice fringe wants and they're the one's screaming loud enough to be heard by politicians. Likewise, Pro Choicers are being told that Pro Lifers want to do away with abortion altogether. Again, untrue but it is true the fringe does want this and politicians do listen to them.

    Abortion proves one thing...we all have common beliefs but are divided by uncommon fears.

    No one wants to see horror stories like this. Hell, I'm one of these guys who adores Asian women so I there's no way in hell I like what I'm seeing. But you have to understand...the Pro Choice movement cannot oppose this because these people are doing what the Pro Choice movement itself supports and got passed into legislation. Just because it's selective abortion...I mean, that's better than giving birth to the child and then bashing her head in which is what they do over there. But how can anyone say it's wrong when they have reduced the fetus to being a clump of cells and it's not a human life until it's born.

    Pro Necessity...it's time for a change!!!

    Well, the practice is gross and a misuse of what the practice should be used for, but you're right- there really are no grounds on which to prevent it. Too bad, really. But better abort in the womb than kill the baby after.

    Meanwhile women are forced into abortions, forced to be sterilized (in China), are abducted as children to be married to old men (in China), and are "encouraged" to move into a profession where they serve the needs of the men (prostitution).

    The pro-choice movement strikes again, destroying women and their choice to live and have the type of family that they want. I know women in China who desperately wanted to have a daughter, to the point that they purchased a daughter and paid for illegal papers and/or did it against the government instructions.

    Either way, the feminist have managed to just get women more abused.

    Exactly Andy and it's not the Womens Rights Movement, that died in the 70's as the feminists were an extreme fringe of the movement who screamed loudly and politicians listened to them...in turn, women in general got confused as to exactly was leading the movement. Pro Choice is the glue that gives the feminists control over any issue about womens rights. It plays to the fears women have of being forced to give birth to a child of rape or they'll be denied an abortion even if it would cost them their lives. That is in fact the extreme Pro Life view but very few Pro Lifers support that.

    The killing on the children in Asia and India is heartbreaking. And consider this...they adopted abortion practices from western values as abortions were actually forbidden before the feminist agenda took over and the government decided it was a good answer to their problems. Thats why they were killing little girls instead of aborting them. It's just a clump of cells...seems to me that the feminists are now trying to say there's more to it because its a girl fetus...too bad, but you can't change the game after the game is over.

    Do the commie-loving moonbats think this is politically correct? How do they resolve the dichotomy? With the Hegelian Dialectic?

    Well China does the same thing don't they.. boy babies are preferred. Well, if they're all males it will certainly keep the population numbers down. I'm surprised the Pope doesn't pop his head in over there and tell these people.. abortion is wrong.. but then again look at the church.. by god.. they perfer males over females too... and god never married.. and men like to watch other men play sports....I'm beginning to see a pattern here. I'm surpirse they don't try to clone themselves? Just given time! Women can you know.. make sperm from their own bone marrow. yes..to impregnate herself.. but she can only have girls... I've only read about this in one science magazine.. it's not a popular topic.. well amongst men.. .. it's an ego thing.. you know.. just all the above is about male...ego..ego..ego..

    China, India and several other nations do this although many wait til the child is born and then smash her skull. Remember...Pro Choicers advocate it's not a human life until it's born and otherwise is a clump of cells...these people were given an acceptable excuse because the feminists and Pro Choicers are self centered and were warned for decades that foreign cultures might seize upon this. And now we are here discussing it? What right do we have when we ourselves said this isn't a human life until it's born.

    As for cloning...isn't it ironic that giving birth is natures form of cloning lol.

    Not disagreeing with you mssim, In fact I myself wonder why they feel this way? Might have something to do with all those sex change operations as Asia does have the highest per capita ratio of shemales and the Chinese government even pays for it as part of their birth control efforts.

    Okay, that is just sick. I've always been for the right to chose, but I find this incredibly upsetting.
