In parts of India and China there are now as many as 120 or 140 boys for every 100 girls despite a ban on gender-based abortion.<br \/>\n*Emily Davies, \u0093Thousands of Girls Are Aborted Due to Gender,\u0094 DailyMail.com, 14 January 2014, http: \/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2539648\/Thousands-girls-aborted-gender-Study-finds-couples-cultures -sons-deemed-desirable-terminating-female-pregnancies.html<br \/>\nDo you think sex-selection abortions are morally permissible? What reasons can you provide to back up your view? Some Chinese parents could argue that such abortions are acceptable on utili-<br \/>\ntarian grounds: Aborting female fetuses prevents economic harm to the family. Is this a good moral argument? Why or why not?<br \/>\n2. Parental Notification<br \/>\nUSA Today\u0097Sabrina Holmquist trained as a physician in low-income neighborhoods in the Bronx, N.Y. She says she often saw pregnant teenagers in desperate health and family crises, including some girls who had been abused at home. That, Holmquist says, led her to believe that doctors sometimes should be able to perform abortions on minors without informing a parent.<br \/>\nBut in Texas, Linda W. Flower, who practiced obstetrics for two decades, disagrees. She says that in the vast majority of cases in which a teenage girl seeks an abortion, a parent\u0092s guidance is helpful and needed. Flower says she knows of young women who have regretted having abortions.<br \/>\nThe doctors\u0092 views reflect the dueling arguments in the first abortion case to come before the Supreme Court in five years: a New Hampshire dispute that tests whether a state may bar physicians from performing an abortion on a girl younger than 18 unless one of her parents has been notified at least 48 hours in advance\u0097even in instances in which the girl faces a health emergency.<br \/>\n213006_08_161-212_r1_el:213006_08_161-212_r1_el 8\/3\/15 9:53 AM Page 211<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2539648\/Thousands-girls-aborted-gender-Study-finds-couples-cultures-sons-deemed-desirable-terminating-female-pregnancies.html<br \/>\n\u0086Joan Biskupic, \u0093High Court Case May Signal Shift on Abortion\u0094 From USA Today, February 7, 2006. \u00a9 2006 USA Today.

Under what circumstances, if any, do you think it morally permissible for an under- eighteen girl to have an abortion without notifying<br \/>\na parent or guardian? when the girl\u0092s life is at stake? when she is a victim of sexual abuse, including incest? Would it be reasonable to require parental notification in all cases without exception?<br \/>\n3. No Abortion to Avert Health Risks<br \/>\nMedical News Today\u0097The European Court of Human Rights on Tuesday began considering the appeal of a Polish woman who says that in 2000 she was denied an abortion despite warnings from physicians that she could become blind if she continued the pregnancy, the Scotsman reports (Neighbour, Scotsman, 2\/8). Alicja Tysiac\u0097who has three children\u0097alleges that Poland\u0092s abortion law violated her rights under Article 8 and Article 14 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which guarantee \u0093respect for privacy and family life\u0094 and \u0093prohibition of discrimination,\u0094 respectively. Polish law allows abortion only if a woman has been raped, if there is danger to the life of the woman or if the fetus will have birth defects, according to the Jurist (Onikepe, Jurist, 2\/8). The European Court could rule that Tysiac\u0092s rights were violated but cannot mandate that Poland change its abortion laws (Reuters, 2\/7).\u0087<br \/>\nThe case, to be heard by the court Wednesday, is the first abortion dispute before the justices since 2000, when they voted 5\u00964 to strike down Nebraska\u0092s ban on a procedure that critics call \u0093partial birth\u0094 abortion because the ban lacked an exception for cases in which the woman\u0092s health was at risk. The new dispute tests whether such a health exception should be required in parental-involvement mandates, which have been passed in various forms by 43 states.\u0086<br \/>\n\u0087Kaiser Daily Health Policy Report, \u0093European Court of Human Rights Considers Appeal of Polish Woman,\u0094 published in Medical News Today, February 10, 2006.
