This article assumes that anti abortionists don't care about the mother's health or if the fetus will be healthy.  So she tries to silence any opposituon with 1% arguments.  What we need is an adult debate on the ethics of abortion for convenience by certain cultures within Canada. CMAJ has studied the ratio of boys to girls births and they are definitely skewed towards more boys being born than girls.  It is ironic that a woman of that culture is pro-choice yet it is her own culture that purposefully aborts girls in favour of boys.  That stats already prove this by the CMAJ.  Balkissoon should be thankful she was even born if she had sisters.  But who are we Canadians to judge other cultures thru our own?  Carry on.
