Sex selection - a new focus in the abortion debate

THE INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER is to be congratulated on their exposure of sex selected abortions among Asian communities. This is a practice that most of us knew was happening, a priori, but the Independent has found sound empirical evidence from studying the 2011 census, which suggests that 4,700 female embryo/foetus  have been aborted within such communities; because within such cultures a dowry has to be paid by the family when a daughter marries.
            
            The government had denied that any such evidence existed when, last June, Earl Howe, a minister at the Department of Health (DoH)  insisted that; ‘on sex selection, we have no evidence at all of gender-related abortion in the UK. Concerns were expressed about this in the Press, but analysis has been done that shows the UK birth ratio is within normal limits’.  The DoH never had the evidence because they did not want to find it. Ministers and civil servants knew of such practices, but preferred not to investigate them for fear of offending the Asian communities that practiced such gender related abortions.
            
            The DoH has turned a blind eye, in the same way the police and social services in Rochdale and Oxford did, when young white girls were harvested from the streets by Asian gangs to be abused and raped; and they did it for the same reason.
            
            Socially liberal Britain is seeing a few chickens coming home to roost. Ever since   the 1967 Abortion Act was steered through by the then pre-knighted and peeraged David Steel, the debate about the status of the embryo/foetus  has raged - are they human or just clumps of tissue without any human genus?
            
            In order to pay homage to the rising tide of feminism; it was decided to strip the  embryo/foetus of all human identity, and it continues to be the case today. No wonder our feminists have, along with other contentious practices adopted by our other minority cultures, ignored what should have been a cause-celebre for feminism.
            
            If, on the other hand, some senior Canadian police officer says that women who dress provocatively cannot complain if men are overcome with lust; then the feminists take to the streets en-mass all over the Western world.
           
           At least the feminists are consistent in that they care little about the embryo/foetus  whether male or female. But one would have thought that by selecting the female embryo/foetus for termination on grounds of gender, they would have protested at the attitude held toward women by the Asian communities.
            
            But, also like the DoH, as well as the social workers and constabularies in Rochdale and Oxford; the feminists have also decided to turn a blind eye regarding the Asian communities chauvinistic attitude to women. Compared to the way women are treated in other cultures, particularly, but not exclusively Muslim ones, our white Western feminists are living in an Amazonian paradise regarding the advancement of their sisterhood. 
            
             They are hypocrites all, and their feminist manifestoes, articles, and books, are filled with  so much false piety. They care  little about the sufferings of their gender, if such suffering is confined to ethnic minorities.

BUT BACK TO the issue of abortion. There is another statistic, referred to by Dominic Lawson writing in today's Daily Mail. This concerns the laxity of the 1967 Abortion Act. At the time we were told there would be all sorts of safe guards written into the legislation that put strict limits on the procedure. One being that two doctors must be consulted before an abortion is allowed. But those doctors who opposed, for ethical reasons, any termination, removed themselves, rightly, for reasons of conscience from any practice resulting in abortion.
            
            This meant however, that the embryo/foetus had lost many an ambassador for their cause. Now, of the 200,000 abortions carried out each year, some 50% have been terminated without the need (presented in the 1967 Act as being in its spirit) of any intervention from two doctors. The term used in the Act was, two doctors acting "in good faith" by judging in part the mental condition of the mother. Much it seems was left to faith by a liberal constituency which was, on the whole, secular in its outlook.
            
             David Steel  is now about to experience the world beyond the thin end of the wedge talked of in 1967 and ever since. Many other liberals, from within all the main parties who regard abortion as in some way "progressive", are finally tainted by this inhuman procedure.
            
             The 1967 Abortion Act was neither 'progressive', or in any way to be considered to be a humane response to the back street abortionists that preceded it. Consider just how many writers, musicians, artists, and scientists have been denied the possibility of advancing our civilisation through the application of this foul act. Selfish and self-centred women have, over the decades since 1967 terminated their pregnancies; but for no other reason than using the procedure as another form of contraception.
           
             We were once told that no women chooses lightly to abort her pregnancy. This was, at the time, in 1967, the feminist response to those on the Right who opposed Steel's abortion act - thus came into being this new addition to the various other methods of contraception. Abortion  today  has become as familiar as the seasons to those wishing to rid themselves of an unwanted problem.
            
             There should be in theory, none, or very few abortions taking place. Women have the pill as well as the morning after pill, along with more traditional methods of contraception. Men either have the Catholic method of withdrawal, or the condom. And in extremis being neutered.
            
             We have all these methods of prevention, yet still every year 200,000 abortions take place. If abortion has not become another form of contraception, then let our liberal politicians from all the main parties who supported Steel's abortion act explain to us where we have lost their liberal plot.
           
              Abortion involves the killing of a human embryo/foetus; not a dog's or cat's. The only way the liberal elite would understand this, is if we were to describe the Leonardo Cartoon as the mere embryo/foetus  to the finished master piece; and therefore without significance and could be readily put to the flame. Imagine the outrage at such an abortion of a work of art.
            
             Well I feel the same way about the human embryo/foetus. I am an atheist, but not a secularist. Between 1968 and 2003, six million legal abortions were performed in the UK[1]- while five hundred abortions are being performed each day.
            
             With this rampant nightmare in progress, what the liberal's are concerned with, if at all, is gender selection; not the cruelty and denial of opportunity to either sex brought about by such killings. I say killings because the parameters of the term murder are set by the state, and, the 1967 Abortion Act made abortion legal. So the destruction of human life, under circumstances allowed by the state; is perfectly legal.
            
              It is a good job that in the 17th and 19th  centuries, abortion was never rubber stamped by the state. For we may have been left without Shakespeare and Dickens, along with a flurry of artists, authors, engineers, and scientists over the coming centuries that lifted this country up on the world stage - how stupid can our people be?
            
             The wretched Steel has a lot to answer if he believes in a maker. If not, he will have done future mankind a disservice including his own future ancestors by the so-called 'progressive' path he, in his political immaturity, took.
            
             Abortion has limited the cultural blood of the nation. Many great minds in all spheres of human cultural activity have been put to the abortionists knife. Lives which will now never prosper mankind.
