89% of Indian Women Carrying Girls “Opted For Abortion”

Posted on December 7, 2011 by Ernie

Via the National Review: “Dr. Sunita Puri […] who practices in the Bay Area, wanted to find out why so many immigrant Indian women in the United States were so eager to find out the sex of their unborn children, and why so many of them choose abortion when they found out they were carrying a girl. What she discovered over the course of 65 interviews conducted over several years profoundly shocked her. Fully 89 percent of the women carrying girls opted for an abortion, and nearly half had previously aborted girls,” a statistic that is sad, but not surprising given the bias for boys in Asian families.
