I found this very interesting, regardless of your position on abortion, you can't help but laugh at the hypocrisy.

Essentially a study was done of Indian moms in Canada who'd already had 2 daughters. While you would expect the third baby to match historical ratios (105 males/100 females) what you see is a stark increase to 138-196 males/100 females depending on the study. This leads to the conclusion that females are being aborted to try for a male.
Naturally a lot of feminists are upset because it's treating women as second class citizens, and saying essentially that women are less valuable then men. Then on the other hand, abortion is legal, for any reason, and a female fetus is equal to a male fetus which is equal to nothing. So right to choose is imperative, but you shout get veto powers over other people's motivations for doing so. Gotcha.

If an Indian-born mother with two daughters received an abortion before their third child, the ratio jumped to 326 boys for every 100 girls, and 409 boys for every 100 girls if the mother had multiple abortions
