Abortion and the Real War on Women

From the Telegraph:

India fears cheap Chinese ultrasounds are causing female abortions
India has launched an investigation into the sale of cheap Chinese ultrasound machines it fears are behind an increase in abortions of female babies.

Officials believe the wide availability and low cost of these machines have caused an increase in the number of clinics screening pregnant women and offering illegal sex determination tests.

The test results are often used by the husband's family to pressurize the woman into having an abortion.

India has been widely criticised for its skewed sex ratio which is widely believed to have been affected by female foeticide and abortion.
