Sex-selective abortion a rights issue, not just religion and science

Issue date: 4/6/09 Section: Letters
America is all about "human rights" and civil rights, correct? You know how China and India are about "human rights" and civil rights? If you don't, go to the library, look online, whatever! Educate yourself NOW.
I have siblings adopted from China that were not treated so well (to put it lightly) while they were living over there. And due to China and India's societies' ill ideologies about boys being "superior" than girls, they FORCE abortions on mothers if the gender isn't what was expected.
Even if the baby is at the 8-9 month stage of development, they don't care. They'll still force an abortion on the mother and child.
If sex-selective abortions push forward, our country is just like them. No, not just like them... WORSE than them. This isn't even about religion and science; this is about human and civil rights.
The Spectator editorial, "Bad timing," is one of the STUPIDEST articles I have ever read from The Spectator. What a waste of space. I suggest whoever wrote the article look at other countries and really educate themselves about this topic before writing something... ever.

Isn't it funny that the pre-eminent freedoms at the foundation of our country list LIFE first. And nowhere is a right to CHOICE or PRIVACY listed in our Constitution, but has been interpreted in by various Supreme Courts. (Continued…)
