1. Why?

   Are you pro-abortion, but only if it is done for reasons that you agree with?

2. I’m not pro-abortion; I think ideally women shouldn’t have them. That said, if a Women needs or wants an abortion that is her choice. So I would say I am pro-choice.

   I think India needs to address the fact that girls are favoured more than boys in their society. Letting people pick the gender of their child doesn’t help with that, it just reinforces and encourages old prejudices. If they address this problem by enforcing laws they have on gender selection, I really don’t feel bad about that. The number of girls to be they abort in India is pretty staggering.

   And yes, I see the contradiction.

3. I don’t mean to be a dick, I was just curious what you thought because I have been thinking about this specific issue recently.

   What about disability? Surely the disabled are disfavoured in Indian (and Western) society too. I wonder if you can tell how dark or light skinned a baby will be before they are born?

   Anyway, I am torn. People end pregnancies for lots of different reasons. Those reasons either are society’s business or they aren’t. If they are, I think that gender selection is just one of hundreds of questionable reasons. If they aren’t, then people will just have to get used to a world filled with nothing but tall, white, able-bodied boys.

4. Will these tall, white, able-bodied boys be able to have offspring, and if so, should they have the right to choose?
