Since
1973, there have been an estimated 56 million abortions in America.
That means 28 million women are missing from our society. How many
scientists, teachers, doctors, mothers, siblings and friends is that?
Abortion
is often discussed as a women's rights issue. Those who value the lives
of unborn children in the womb--regardless of their sex or any other
quality--have been described as being against women, or even conducting a
"War on Women."
Is abortion a tool for helping women? Evidence actually suggests abortion may be the greatest tool of sex discrimination ever.
In
countries like China and India, there is a perfect storm of tragedy.
Abortion is legal in these two countries, there is a strong cultural
preference for male children, and there are legal or economic barriers
that tie abortion and culture together.
There may be more than 160 million missing women in the world, victims of sex-selection abortions.
There is even some evidence that this practice exists in the United States.
