Sex Selective Abortions – The Feminist Atrocity


It is a subject that should make all of us cringe, and certainly make those who are pro-choice re-evaluate their position. The harsh reality is that millions of girls are being aborted every year for no other reason than they are the wrong sex.

The Lancet, the British medical journal, has been actively monitoring the birth rations around the world and has concluded that legalized abortion has resulted in a veritable Holocaust for unborn girls.

Author Colleen Carol Campbell is one of only a few US journalists who bothered to report on the Lancet’s most recent findings, St. Louis Today: Sex Selection Abortion. In her article she points out the horrible irony that the feminist movement has remained silent in the face of this atrocity:

“The abortion license touted as the key to liberating future generations of women” has instead “ become the preferred means of eradicating them (women).”

The surprising aspect to this travesty is that it is not only the pro-life organizations that are concerned about this crisis. Frontline (PBS), The Washington Times, The New York Times, to name just a few have used words such as genocide, feticide, silent shame, and yes, even holocaust to describe sex-selective abortions.

Many will read this article and say – “But Jeff, this isn’t happening in America.” As Colleen Carol Campbell pointed out that sex selection abortion is practiced by key ethnic groups living in America; and are we that naïve to believe that sex-selective abortions are not occurring outside of these ethnic groups?

Sex selection abortions is the result of the Pandora Box that was opened by the aggressive feminist movement that made abortion a central theme of their platform; the very same platform that was adopted by the Democratic Party. Many pro-choice and feminist groups are convinced that outlawing sex- selective abortion will undermine the “reproductive rights” of women, because as we known, that is what is most important. If you are truly pro-abortion all the time, no matter what, then this story should not affect you in anyway, because sex-selective abortions is the end results of your support for the massacre known as abortion.

So after reading this, how pro-choice are you really? Where does a women's right to choose conflict with societies responsibility to protect the innocent? Roe Vs. Wade and Doe Vs. Dalton opened up a floodgate of death around the world, should any of us be surprised that one of the end results would be innocent girls being killed because they are not boys? Is that the equality that the feminist movement fought for?
