1. They should not be having more than one child
Until they can feed all thir children
So we went from "choice" to compulsory abortion in one diktat.
BTW shitbird, read the article. Financially well-off families are leading the pack.

19. Selectively aborting female fetuses is misogyny. It has nothing to to do with
women's rights.

21. The reason behind it is irrelevant.
What if a white woman slept with a black man, became pregnant, and wanted an abortion because she didn't want a black baby? Would you support her right to seek the abortion, even though her reason for seeking it is fundamentally racist? Do her reproductive rights and choices suddenly end because you disagree with her reason for exercising them?
No woman should ever have to carry a child she does not want. Her reasons for not wanting it are irrelevant, because supporting ANY other position means supporting the idea that women should be FORCED to carry babies against their will. You either support free choice, or you don't.
It's now time to play JINGO-BINGO where we call out a series of complaints about a culture and you see if you can name all the jingoist references:

cooperation in Female Genital Mutilation -- or with Chinese Foot Binding --
or with Anorexia here in the US -- then it is time for the government to
make cultural ADJUSTMENTS to reverse these insanities.
The "insanity" of course being prejudice against females -- !!
Respect and esteem for females has to be raised in India!!
Male-supremacist notions have to fought steadily and strongly by India!
State-enforced racism: check
Gender bias: check
Animosity to non-white cultures: check
Deriding other cultures as insane/inhuman: check
Calls for ethnic cleansing: check
JINGO-BINGO!

3. It's really a form of genocide.
But it catches up with them when there are no women for the men to marry. Look at the black market for brides in China?
Look at the fact that in NYC 1,600 black children are aborted for every 1,000 born live.

8. China is doing much the same thing.
Their "one child" policy encourages it even more so than the population pressure in India.
And we all know the ChiComs are xtian fundies.

29. Which is ultimately what patriarchy is about --
Patriarchy is a war on nature, as well --
and we can see how suicidal that has turned out to be !!
War on nature?
Like gay rights?

30. The problem isn't with "CHOICE" - the problem is with male-supremacist concepts ...
which have been taught to the nation -- including females.
Same poison that produced Chinese Foot Binding in China --
and Female Genital Mutilation in Africa, etal --
Anorexia in America --
You think women just wake up one morning and decide to destroy themselves?
All of thes eissues need government intervention to instill egalitarian values --
to overturn male-supremacist teachings --
and to increase the respect and esteem for women in their societies.
Thank goodness the world has rich, white women to tell them every thing that is wrong with them.

42. **** them all, if they want to play with some stupid dowry system i don't feel bad for any of them
let them ruin their own futures.
Only liberals can go from endorsing "freedom of choice" in one breath to full-throated racism the next.

7. Certain in the UK
don't allow ultrasounds for expectant mothers for this very reason.
So if there was a medical condition--a more probable scenario--no one will know.
Awesome statist health care system.

10. Women are second class citizens everywhere. We don't have the
penchant for killing that young men have, and killing is highly valued everywhere. Otherwise, we'd have no soldiers.
You sure seem to have those parasites in your womb licked.

31. +1 -- Patriarchy and violence are mirror images of one another --
And for more than 40 years now our young men have been taught disrespect and violence
against women -- look at the internet porn -- look at our TV programming!!
And you're right about the need to produce soldiers for war!!
Sadly --

32. Only when governments begin to interrupt male-supremacist teachings ....
and to instill egalitarian values -- especially respect and esteem for females!!
But this is a patriarchal war, not only on females, but on nature, as well --
and I see little signs of our stopping either --
Yet, it is suicidal -- insanely so!
DP has posts I didn't bring over because they are too long but she hits all the right notes straight out of any 10-cent femninist studies course.
Trapse over and treat yourself to a peek.
Anyway, that's all I care to bring over. Suddenly the lefties have gone from "keep the government out of my womb" to "make sure the government only permits this 'fundamental right' when I say it's OK"
