Sex selection abortion is the skeleton in pro-abortion feminism's closet

The Washington Times has published an insightful commentary on pro-abortion "feminism" by Joseph Meaney (pictured with Therese-Marie his daughter), one of the world's most experienced international pro-life activists.

Joseph tells me:

"It is truly incredible to read Mary Anne Warren's 'Gendercide: The Implications of Sex Selection.' She invents the term gendercide and then has no problem with sex selection abortion as long as they are not late-term abortions."

Joseph is director of International Co-ordination for Human Life International.

About Me

I became involved in SPUC after graduating, when I established a branch in south London in 1974. I have worked full-time for SPUC for 42 years. I became chief executive of SPUC in the UK in 1996, having been general secretary since 1978. I was elected vice-president of International Right to Life Federation in 2005. At UN conferences in Cairo, Copenhagen, Beijing, Istanbul and Rome, I helped coordinate more than 150 pro-life/pro-family groups resulting in pro-life victories in Cairo, Istanbul and Rome. I was educated at Salesian College, London, before going to Oxford where I graduated in English Language and Literature. I qualified as a teacher, becoming head of English at a secondary school. I am married to Josephine. We have a grown-up family and we live in north London.
