@luigi gigi I repeat, where is there any evidence that sex selective abortion is occurring in Australia to any extent other than the single case that the author cited? Conspiracy theories might get you all excited, but like most conspiracy theories, they lack real evidence and pander to biased beliefs. Yes, it does occur in India and China, along with an eaven greater number of other terrible injustices which are inflicted upon women. You should be disgusted about these injustices and be demanding that our government do more to help real human women by way of international aid and diplomacy.

The "International Symposium on Maternal Health" was organised by the medical college attached to the hospital in Ireland which caused the death of Savita Halappanavar (who was denied a medically necessary abortion) and it was a weak anti-choice attempt to defend why they think abortion is never necessary to save a woman's life. They presented NO peer reviewed studies to support any of their claims but stated their own biased, subjective personal opinions as fact. This is scientifically dishonest and morally wrong.
