Sex-selective abortion

When I think of Asian-American women and abortion, the first thing that comes to my head is westernized views versus traditional views. It’s a very conservative topic yet it is one of the largest issues that women struggle with today. The way that abortion is being approached by pro-life is based solely off of religious beliefs.

Abortion (noun): a. Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival. b. Any of various procedures that result in such termination and expulsion. Also called induced abortion. As stated above, abortion is the termination of a fetus.

Abortion is not a substitute for birth control and this issue should be taken seriously. The individual woman needs to understand that by agreeing to have an

(Larsson, 2016). The Morality of Abortion. A very controversial issue in modern politics is a mother’s right to abort pregnancy. One side, pro-life, include those “who are morally opposed to abortion, believe it is akin to murder, and hold that it should be made illegal”; the other side, pro-choice, includes those “who believe that a mother has a moral and legal right to choose to abort her pregnancy” (Hock, 2016, p. 339).

Due to this preference for male children over female children, sex selective abortion and female infanticide have become increasingly serious issues.

Village). This may possibly be the biggest human rights crisis ever, yet nobody knows about it(The Village). Female foeticide and infanticide are the main perpetrators of this injustice. Female foeticide is the sex-selective abortion of girls in the womb, while female infanticide is the sex-selective homicide of an infant under one year of age(Chawla). This heinous and cruel murdering of female fetuses and infants is rampant in India, China, and North Korea; however, the Compassion organization helps
