Gendercide in Canada - You can’t legally sex-select embryos for in vitro fertilization, yet you legally can for abortion - and it seems girls aren’t in high demand.

An unusually high proportion of male babies are being born to Indian-born women living in Canada who already have two or more children, according to a new study.



Two papers on gender imbalance published on Monday shows that a skewed sex ratio among Indian-born mothers has been apparent throughout Canada for at least two decades.

Among Canadian-born women living in Canada, about 105 boys are born for every 100 girls.



However, during this time frame women born in India who already had two children gave birth to 138 baby boys in Canada for every 100 girls.

If they had three children, they gave birth to 166 boys for every 100 girls.

In the Ontario study, Dr. Marcelo Urquia found that women who already had two daughters gave birth to 196 boys for every 100 girls.

The study also noted that:

The sex ratio rises to 326 boys for every 100 girls if the Indian-born mother with two daughters had an abortion prior to the third birth.

if the Indian-born mother with two daughters had an abortion prior to the third birth. It rises to 409 boys for every 100 girls if the mother had more than one abortion.

if the mother had more than one abortion. The sex ratio rises again to 663 boys for every 100 girls if the mother had at least one abortion after 14 weeks of pregnancy, when the sex of the fetus can be predicted by an ultrasound.

Women often coerced into abortions – Tripat Kaur, a project co-ordinator with the Indo-Canadian Women’s Association in Edmonton, said the Indian-Canadian families she’s worked with are usually fine with a first child being a girl, but there’s often great pressure for a second child to be a boy.

“I know women who are really forced to get the child aborted,” Kaur told CTV News.

She recalled one case in which a woman went against her husband’s and mother-in-law’s wishes and didn’t have an abortion. Kaur said that the woman found herself without support from her family after the baby was born.

“Nobody came to the hospital after to see her, nobody came to congratulate her, nobody came to help her,” she said.
