NEW YORK, May 3 (C-Fam) Sex-selective abortion has caused the premature death of over 23 million females, according to the first-ever systematic global study of sex ratio imbalance.
Demographers have noted the phenomenon of skewed sex ratios for decades. Millions of females are missing because of sex-selective abortion. This has led to increased trafficking in children and women. It has also led to increased rates of suicide, depression, and substance abuse among unmarried men. But the global scale of the phenomenon and how many girls exactly have been aborted has relied on uncertain estimates.
Now, for the first time, demographers have undertaken to study the phenomenon of skewed sex ratios due to sex-selective abortion systematically across the globe in a study published in the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences with funding from the University of Singapore.
The natural sex ratio around the globe, with few variations due to genetics and geography, is around 1.05, or about 100 women to every 105 men. But the sex ratio at birth in many countries is in some cases dramatically skewed.
It is difficult to estimate the global impact of sex-selective abortion because abortions, and sometimes even births, are not always accurately tracked. The new study devised a statistical model for predicting the total impact of sex-selective abortion in countries that have a skewed sex ratio.
The authors found 23 million baby girls are missing globally as a “direct consequence of sex-selective abortion, driven by the coexistence of son preference, readily available technology of prenatal sex determination, and fertility decline.”

This is not true at all.
The left says fetuses are not people. Assigning gender to non-people is only done to play the female victim card when it works for liberals.
We aborted our gay and transgender babies.
PING!
I hate abortion as far as I am concerned it is luciferin in nature.
Why do you say that? There is no way to tell if an unborn child is gay or will be transgender.
But saying that would be a good way to get sympathy for the pro-life cause.
The poster was being sarcastic...taunting the left using their own criteria for “special” groups.
This is the real war on women, and it’s sponsored solely by the left.
I’m 100% with you on that. Our local hospital has a system to check for political identity, and we aborted a couple of future democrats.
We're also becoming more and more living in a virtual world. (think Measles "epidemic" keeping people isolated or accepting any drug/vaccine BigPharm wants to sell) Which Sci-Fi movie are we going to become before it all comes tumblin' down? I'm thinking Surrogates.
We’re about to learn (as India has already) that “freedom to their own bodies” for women stops when they gender-selectively abort their girls...
China’s One Child policy, enforced for decades, has resulted in an excess of 100 million males with little prospect of ever finding wives.
Demographers half jokingly refer to this as the People’s Bachelor Army. But empires have for centuries sent their surplus males into battle for the purpose of conquest and the Beijing regime is no different.
Even here in the US there are Obstetricians who will not tell a woman the sex of her child so as to prevent "femininecide".
For the most part, Abortion is all about....
Blacks killing blacks {which has kept their racial percentage near 12% as opposed to incrementally growing to nearly 30%.}
Liberals killing liberals- future lib voters.
That is the primary reason that many Republican leaders have kept quiet on the issue for decades. Those higher demographics would greatly challenge the R party and drastically overload the social welfare programs.
For democrats -In place of their own home grown liberal voting stock, the democrat party is now reliant on border jumping aliens to deliver the D. voting block.
They kill their own kind and they attempt to justify it by showing how ‘wealthier’ they have become as a result of unfettered abortions.
Without welfare reliant illegal aliens being added to the voting rolls, the democrat party would systematically and generationally be aborting themselves out of existence.
It is obvious. Note the locations of abortion clinics.
I also read somewhere that excess Chinese men are in Africa, and even the Caribbean to breed.
Wait till someone discovers the “gay” gene
My first thought as well. Is God preparing the world for the final battle?
Virtue signaling convinces the left of its own unimpeachable morals. When push comes to shove, it rejects guilt for any of its wrongdoing and attributes such allegations to conspiracy theories.
Peter Daou, a Democratic strategist and former advisor to Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, tweeted on Monday that Ford will be "attacked, smeared, and demonized" and that people must "BELIEVE WOMEN."
It's all part of the Demagogic Party's long-term, ongoing War on Women. Thanks Tolerance Sucks Rocks.
Rich white suburban girls kill the inconvenience too
Just like in 1973 when I was a kid
