As Ms. Hatten explains, “Laws against sex-selection abortion are not tantamount to picking a reason for abortion at random and declaring it unacceptable. All abortions are heinous, yes. But sex-selection abortion in particular is often linked to forced abortion, coercion, and violence against the woman in question.”
Sex-selective abortion is not unique to China and India. It has become a global problem that Canada also needs to take action against. We know where the Liberals and NDP stand on addressing this discriminatory practice – they do not really care about it – but the Conservatives have taken a solid position against gendercide. At their most recent convention they voted overwhelmingly in favour of condemning sex-selective discrimination.
It is time for us to begin pressuring the Canadian government to make sex-selective abortion illegal in our country as well. Please do your part and send this email to your MP today!
