| Résumé : |
We need more girls to be born, they say. We need to stop the gendercide that is taking place across the world, they say. For social justice. For women's rights. For human rights.
This is a compelling argument when taken at face value, and one that is commonly heard in many countries in Asia and among the Asian diaspora elsewhere. But, if we take a moment to examine it more closely, the true nature of the discourse becomes clear. It sounds as though it is for women's rights but, in reality, it puts restrictions on women using the excuse of sex determination. If we are to recognize safe abortion as a right for women to terminate an unwanted pregnancy, then we cannot judge whether the reason it is unwanted is acceptable to us or not. This is especially true when people are uncomfortable around what is called a "selective" abortion, whether it is for the sex of the fetus or for disability. |
