There are studies showing that there is a true issue here. I'm sorry if truth offends the true pro abortionists that border on being proponents of infanticide (remember those who say a child isn't a child till the age of 2 years? They are out there; and they are serious), but anyone that is reasonable can look at studies and go...whoa geeze. This should be looked at.
Female foeticide: Haryana in California, Punjab in Canada

From the article:
A working paper for the US National Bureau of Economic Research in 2009 showed that the sex ratio for first births among Indians in the US was close to the norm of 105 boys for every 100 girls.
But the ratio got increasingly skewed for subsequent births if the previous children were girls. In cases where the first two children were girls, the sex ratio for third births among Indians was found to be nearly 190 boys for 100 girls.
Another study published last year and led by Sunita Puri, a physician at the University of California in San Francisco, looked at 65 Indian immigrant women in the US who had opted for foetal sex selection between September 2004 and December 2009.
The paper found 40 per cent of those women had previously aborted female foetuses, and 89 per cent of women carrying girls during the period of the study went on to abort them. The women came from a diverse range of income and education levels, and from different Indian states.
