[Commenting on this news article which says "Around 10 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India over the past two decades because of ultrasound sex screening and a traditional preference for boys, according to a study published online in The Lancet."]
Can abortion lead to homosexuality or infidelity?
Something to ponder. There's a lot of men who won't have a woman of their own. Something's gotta give.

Bum,
I think his point is that lots of lonely men (with their too few women to match) will become desperate, much like prison populations are said to. Your friends ass becomes the vagina you wanted to marry.
Of course, the way he words it, it sounds like he's talking about orientation and not behavior.

"Thanks for some confirmation bunnymom! With all this harping on GWB I was beginning to believe that we have all forgotten that God appointed him as ruler for this time and HIS purpose. I thought I was going to get flamed within 20 seconds!"
Is this guy serious? >>

Someone needs to let this guy know that "divine right of kings" hasn't been a fashionable concept for quite a while now (and, of course, that Bush II is not an actual king, his dynastic precedent and monarchistic attitudes notwithstanding). I doubt that God even voted in the last election; I don't think he's an American citizen, let alone empowered to "appoint" our president. We collectively screwed that up all by ourselves, thank you very much!

Yeah. Cuz, y'know, China's totally a homosexual nation. I mean- with all those female babies getting killed in favor of males, it must be. Killing off the women couldn't possibly lead to extinction- only homosexuality which, y'know, is totally a way people can reproduce- right?
A very slight excess of males is normally born, which about balances the slightly higher infant mortality.
After that, males have a myriad ways of subtracting themselves from the population, from war to "watch this, this is cool".
sadchristian: if you look at the statistics, it would appear that cultures )who obsess about having sons to pass on their name and inheritance) have a tendency for homosexual relationships, because the people who decide to keep daughters are becoming rare.
I think though, his arguement falls apart on the word infidelity. Sure there would be sneaking around, but that happens in every society. Maybe they should structure a matrarchial society that allows women to have multiple husbands. muahahaha.
However, would it be abortion for that time-honored tradition of leaving a newborn daughter to be eaten by some wild dog in an alley a few days after they're born?
TDR: In places like India and China, it is true that the gender statistics are being tipped toward males because daughters don't inherit anything. It's a sad thing to value a human life on.
Confused?
