Also, since abortion has been legalized in America, female births have risen. However, there are rare instances in America where the abortions are preformed after they know the sex of the baby. It is very rare, and there is no evidence that the abortion is preformed because of the sex of the baby. While this number is at only 5% of abortions preformed at the week that one should know the sex of the baby, it seems small until you look at it number wise. That means about 65,000 babies in the United States are aborted after the sex is/should be known. Is this gendercide in our country? We may not know, since gender is usually not noted at time of abortion.
