We've been thinking for a while that the facts mentioned on the rest of this site can get eclipsed by all the trauma, emotions, conversations, etc. So this page is to collect all the links to the facts surrounding the issues and arrange them categorically below. We hope you find it to be a helpful springboard as you do your own research.
(Thanks for your patience as we gather all the links we've shared and add other helpful links, this page is a work in progress.)

The Targeting of Female Fetuses, Fetuses with Handicaps, etc.
“Unnatural Selection is an important book and a fascinating read. Mara Hvistendahl is a delightful writer: witty, engaging, and acute. But the tale she tells is deeply disturbing. Asia alone is missing 160 million women and girls, a number equal to the entire female population of the United States. According to Hvistendahl, the culprit is less deeply rooted cultural gender bias than rising wealth, elite attitudes, and Western influence and technology. Development, at least for the coming decades, will produce not only fewer children overall, but also many fewer girls. The result is a future for many parts of the world, from India to China, Azerbaijan to Albania, where brides are much more likely to be bought, women are much more likely to be trafficked, and men are much more likely to be frustrated. For the present, women who are pro-choice must confront the stark reality that the availability of ultrasound and ready abortion are sharply reducing the number of women in the world.”--Anne-Marie Slaughter, Bert G. Kerstetter University Professor of Politics and International Affairs, Princeton University
