Sex Selection & Abortion
Sex Selection & Abortion

Sex Selection & Abortion: India
In this article, the author uses four (4) similar Laws in four (4) different countries to compare and contrast each countries unique perspective on a similar subject, which is “Sex Selection and Abortion”. Canada, a nation with no legal law prohibiting abortion, uses a sort of moral and ethical standard to prohibit medical practitioners from engaging in practices that allows the parents to terminate a fetus based on its gender. Whereas a more conservative nation, such as India, uses the law to ban certain forms or types of abortion with a maximum of three (3) year prison term as the ultimate deterrent.
Abortion is a despicable, evil, peculiar practice that should be abolished worldwide. Using the sex of a child as the motive for indulging oneself in such a simple and utterly disgraceful act only compounds the offense. No matter the justification, to take a life without legitimate cause is murder. Abortion is bad not only because it takes the life of an innocent child, it also damages the body of the mother in the process. Abortion is seen as a mechanism to control population growth; however, there is no need to enforce such tactics, when other more humane methods of controlling human population exist.
On the issue of a Government allowing for crimes against its citizens to include children through the practice of Abortion is justification for that Nation losing its legitimacy. Any individual that willingly subjects an innocent to the dismemberment and torture of abortion deserves punishment at the greatest extent allowed under the law. Government sanctioned abortions in public hospitals, such as is the case in India, given the circumstances of the abortion, is a violation of the taxpayer’s rights and a misuse of government funds.
Regardless of the government, the power that it inherits is derived from the people. To murder a defenseless individual despite the rationale such as birth defects, undesirable sex, etc. is a violation of Divine Law. Even animals recognize and obey the natural law that is inherent in all living creatures. While it is well documented that various species of mammals engage in infanticide there is usually a legitimate reason that can be explained through scientific rationale and reason for such occurrences. Humans are viewed as the most evolved and advanced species on earth. If this is a true statement, then why would we endorse and give legitimacy to such barbaric and heinous practices such as abortion? To injure oneself and kill ones offspring is counter intuitive and goes against the whole notion of evolution and Divine Order. The purpose of evolution is to survive from generation to generation by successfully passing on ones genetic code via ones offspring. Divine Law, clearly prohibits Abortion because it is an affront to God and a sin against one’s own body. Any Nation that legalizes such barbarism is destined for anarchy.
