'Gendercide'

From Robert Colvile, writing for the Telegraph:

It is one of the great unreported stories of our age – the slaughter of the unborn on an industrial scale. In India, China and elsewhere, millions of female children are simply not being born. As an excellent piece in the Economist pointed out a few years ago, gender ratios in those countries have been skewed far beyond what nature would allow.

The reason for this problem, which grows more serious by the year, is simple. More effective abortion procedures, and sex identification, have allowed millions upon millions of people to ensure that male children are born, and female children are not. Nor is it a result of the one-child policy: it appears to be happening across the developing world, and even in parts of Europe and America.

One wonders what the feminists, who have made abortion on demand their prime objective, will say about this.
