Back in the 1960's and '70's, advocates of abortion on demand won their case by arguing that it would enable women to compete with men more favoribly for positions of influence. A recent communication from American Life League president, Judie Brown, points out that legalized abortion, instead of giving women a more powerful voice in society, now seems to be producing the opposite effect. Now, after half a billion or so worldwide abortions, we are begining to see an unexpected effect of this evil means to produce a desired result.
There is now indisputable evidence of a growing global trend to abort female babies in favor of male babies. China, along with other third world countries, was one of the earlier places where gender based abortion were practiced, but the procedure soon spread to India, Japan and Europe. Now, right here in the United States, some abortionists say that the fastest growing part of their business is aborting girl babies for parents who prefer boys.
Officials in Japan are expressing fears of impending social disaster as they anticipate a future in which women make up just over a third of the total population. With fewer women available to cast votes at election time, it seems likely that even legitimate women's issues in the future may have less backing than was the case previously. Let us never accept an evil such as abortion to gain any outcome, no matter how desirable the end result may be.
