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.
