Feminists are often insulted by China's deliberate aborting of female children before birth. Aparently, they do so to control population. Their logic is "100 men cannot simultaneously impregnate 1 woman, but 1 man can simultaneously impregnate 100 women".
However, these same feminists who are insulted by this are often pro-choice. Arguing, that fetuses are not living humans. Based on this ideology , China isn't killing girls, China is aborting "nothings". Again, based on this ideology, China isn't insulting or underminding females, it is underminding "nothings". Yet again, based on this ideology, China isn't violating a woman's body. It is simple purifying the woman from certain "nothings". Why be insulted, then?
Also, is the US more moral for equaly killing both sexes? Is this half as bad, or twice as bad?
For your information, I am disgusted by this barbaric practice. However, I am against abortion in any situation. Therefore, my disgust is logical and consistant.
Than you.

After fetuses are percieved as "lifeless cells", then the removing of one is no more a violation of the woman than a flu shot. It becomes a simple, standard procedure.

If abortion isn't immoral, then the reason for abortion shouldn't be a concern. If abortion isn't imoral, in any way, then aborting a fetus because it "could become" a girl is no more imoral then aborting a fetus because of expences.

You know, I once wrote a poem about this about 19 years ago but it's at home and not at work. It would help if feminists (and everyone else) knew more about how life comes about and the purpose of life. Here is a website with a quote by Mother Theresa on the subject. The only true way to control what some call "over-population" is not by having abortion rights or infanticide. The best way is to live the law of chastity, and include that with prayer to know best how to prepare to have children within the confines of marriage between a man and a woman. I know feminists (of all persuasions) may insist on any rights they want, but true power comes from chastity and spiritual virtue, and if they would turn their attention to helping China educate their wonderful women and girls, it would be more of beneficial in the long run. Unfortunately, the law of chastity seems to be ignored right and left anymore, so it will take a while for people to realize the importance of it first. Also, I think China's government does not trust its citizens to pray and get answers on how big they want their own families to be, as this policy has been in effect for quite a while. Chinese politicians need to return to spiritual roots which include trust in their own people, but that is going to take more time, as well.

Abortion, from most "feminist" viewpoints, is a practice tied to the human right of reproduction. Any restriction or control of this practice then is likely to be viewed as an infringement upon women's human rights.
Of course, I don't have to explain to you what the counter-arguement to this viewpoint tends to be.
