Sex-selective abortion: Gendercide in the Caucasus
- Shivetya 13y agoIf people are aghast at this happening, just wait till when/if they can determine genetically whether or not a child might be gay. There are already people in the West who favor abortion for certain non life threatening birth defects, it won't be long before children will be screened for even possible other traits
- SmokyBorbon 13y agoPeople don't care that Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups exist for the purpose of aborting minority children. They don't care that abortion kills more than heart disease, stroke, lung disease, cancer, diabetes, AIDS, accidents, murder, and war combined. Sadly, people won't care about this, either.
- IvyMike 13y agoTo my biased cultural sensitivities, this is some fucked-up bullshit. But beyond that: it feels like this gender unbalance simply can't be stable in the long term. At some point, women become a scarce resource and thus more valuable. Maybe there are some hints of that happening already. For example, this episode of Vice shows that dating in China has started to become more and more difficult for men. http://hbo.vice.com/episode-four http://hbo.vice.com/episode-four I can't imagine what these countries will look like if this gender disparity persists for 100 years or more.
