Interesting abortion question
April 18, 2008
If we allow abortions for such fatuous and trivial reasons as the fact that it “isn’t the right time,” or that we “can’t afford a baby” at the moment, is there any real reason why we should disallow a woman from another culture (one that doesn’t necessarily view women as having the same value as men) from getting an abortion for the purposes of gender selection? Especially since we are ostensibly a multicultural nation, and since all cultures are equal, and since we should not judge other cultural norms and practices (according to the received wisdom of our progressive betters)?
