Sex-selective abortion happening in Canada

Agape Press – Western Standard magazine, known as a conservative publication in Canada, recently exposed the sex-selective abortion practices of Women’s Hospital in Vancouver in an investigative piece written by Andrea Mrozek and Sean Ollech.

An internal document revealed that parental dissatisfaction with the sex of a child justifies abortion at the expense of taxpayers.  The document indicates that one of the hospital clinics held a February presentation on sex selection that included a rationale for justifying the practice.

The example given told the story of expectant "Mary," who had four boys and wanted a girl. According to the document, "during her routine 18-week ultrasound [she] was told she is carrying another boy. She would like to terminate the pregnancy and try one more time for a girl."

A position paper on sex-selective abortion by the Abortion Rights Coalition of Canada states that "being pro-choice means supporting a woman’s right to decide whether or not to continue a pregnancy for whatever reason, even if one personally does not agree with her reason."

But according to Mrozek, the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes sex-selective abortion.
