Gendercide

An insightful article by Al Mohler:
"Amartya Sen estimated that 100 million baby girls were missing — sacrificed by parents who desired a son."
I've mentioned before that abortion targets women.

The horror of this atrocity is worth considering on its own.

I would also like to bring in the theological and technology aspect:
"even as the spread of ultrasound technology has greatly aided the pro-life movement by making the humanity of the unborn baby visible and undeniable, among those determined to give birth only to baby boys, in millions of cases the same technology has meant a death warrant for a baby girl in the womb."
Technology makes us more powerful (more work per time). It can be used for evil or good. Sometimes, it can shine light on bad idea - other times, the bad ideas are immune to the light.
