Catching up on the dead tree edition of the Boston Globe...
This story on sex selection abortion gladdens my heart. Fingers crossed, it's a start on avoiding the military diaspora of Asian males that a lack of prospects for marriage and family that might otherwise be caused by the foolishly chosen scarcity of females.
One line half-way down the column buried the lead:
[M]others would often apologize for giving birth to a girl.I think of the day my daughter was born, and I wonder how anyone could possibly apologize or expect an apology about such an event.
Of course, before I get too happy about the news from South Korea, there on the facing page is the Globalist Quiz, which has far worse news about India's cultural and institutional discrimination against women.
