[edit] Article move
Copied from Talk:Sex-selective abortion and infanticide.
I have moved Selective abortion back to Sex-selective abortion and infanticide. "Selective abortion" is far too ambiguous, as there is also selective reduction, which is when the number of fetuses in a multiple pregnancy is deliberately reduced by abortion. The title of this article should give some indication of what is being selected. Also, there is no logical basis for lumping together Sex-selective abortion and Genetic-selective abortion into one article, as the term "prenatal discrimination" is neologistic and POV. I will thus be splitting off content related to genetic-selective abortion into Genetics and abortion in order to preserve thematic integrity. -Severa (!!!) 04:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] potential future topic
I've always wondered... Of the women who have an amnio or other procedure, some of them are told "your baby seems to have (some condition)". Each woman (hopefully with her partner) makes a decision, to have an abortion / termination or not. Some of the ones who have an abortion / termination - are wrong to do so because the test was a false positive. My question is - Has any study been done on the number of abortions / terminations resulting from false positives?
