Since 2009, nearly half of all state legislatures have considered bills to prohibit sex-selective abortion. The majority of the U.S. House of Representatives voted in favor of a similar ban in 2012. The laws stigmatize and stereotype Asian Americans, restrict women’s access to non-selective abortion, and are likely unconstitutional.  Yet, elected officials who are pro-choice have voted in favor of the bans. Liberal media sources wrongly report that Asian Americans are aborting female fetuses at rates similar to people in India and China.  Pro-choice people appear to be torn about how to react to these particular abortion restrictions.
