Save the girls–by not advertising “gender selection” kits. If one wonders whether abortion is good or bad, one might look at what it does–the world’s missing women being one of those outcomes.

India’s Supreme Court had last month asked the two companies plus Yahoo to respond to a complaint that they were illegally advertising do-it-yourself kits and expensive genetic techniques to find out an unborn baby’s gender. Activists said the products — which have not been scientifically proven to be accurate or safe — damage efforts to stem mass abortions of girls because of a traditional preference for boys in India.
