Sex selective abortion



Often articles and editorials are  written on sex selective abortion  that prevails not only in India but, also  in countries where the Asian population lives. Laws and their strict enforcement alone  will never succeed in stopping the sex selective abortions . Several surveys have conveyed that it prevails more among the educated and affluent families because, the poor can not afford to avail the sex determination test through various  methods , if it  is banned in a country. The mind set of couples towards girl children will change only when a society reaches a stage wherein the boys and girls enjoy not only equal rights but also bear equal responsibilities. If the girls are allowed to enjoy only the rights and will not bear the duties towards their families, the  gender bias  of opposite type will set in. It may take a longer time to reach that stage of equal status to boys and girls in every aspect of life.   But ,that alone can provide a permanent solution to the problem of sex selective abortions.
