Sweden has now justified what the One Child Only Policy has made common practice in China...

Age of Eugenics just doesn't have the same ring to it that Age of Aquarius does...

that observation ties in to the Elective Cosmetic Surgery poll. if we can through relatively crude surgery shape our children's appearance to more closely conform to the current Ideal, how much better to build on a more ideal foundation?

I don't get it ... even if they "banned" abortion for gender selection, couldn't those who want to do it for that reason just lie and state some other reason - like, say, "I just feel like it"?

Does Sweden have any significant abortion restrictions now?

good point. when aborting for convenience is legal, why would someone need to justify abortion for any reason?

I don't know of any laws in the USA that would stop this abortion. The board ruled in Sweden that is is okay before 18 weeks. After 18 weeks abortions can not happen without special reasons and the National Board of Health and Welfare's approval.http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/population/abortion...
