FRONT ROYAL, Va., July 24 /EMWNews/ -- Steven Mosher,

president of the Population Research Institute (PRI), says that America has

a hidden problem of sex discrimination, but a form of discrimination that

feminists refuse to address.



    In PRI's latest YouTube video, Mosher decries the practice, common in

East and South Asian countries, of sex-selective abortion. According to the

United Nations, this practice has already claimed the lives of over 100

million girls worldwide. The video goes on to cite a recent study published

by the National Academy of Sciences, saying that many American groups,

particularly those of Asian descent, have the same skewed birthrates as

found in their country of origin. Many of the sexist customs and practices

that have led to these skewed birthrates are being imported into the United

States.



    "In China, India, and other Asian countries, there is a strong

preference for boys," Mosher says. "This combination of a preference for

boys and modern technology -- the ultrasound machine -- has proven deadly

for millions upon millions of baby girls." The video goes on to detail

exactly how serious the problem is, and how it can only be explained by the

selective abortion of baby girls.



    "Where are the feminists when you need them?" asks Mosher. According to

Mosher, the widespread slaughter of unborn girls has failed raise concerns

in the feminist community. American feminists are so wedded to

abortion-on-demand that they are unwilling to oppose any abortion, however

egregious. This is true, he says, even when the practice involves the

killing of hundreds of millions of girls for the sole reason that they are

girls.



    "I challenge the National Organization of Women," says Mosher, "and

other feminist groups, to join us in the battle to ban this terrible form

of sex discrimination that is killing so many unborn baby girls. Their

continued silence only facilitates the killing."
