Women's Human Rights and Migration: Sex-Selective Abortion Laws in the United States and India

This was cited in a discussion of the ruling; the author herself discussed things here. The author argues human rights should be applied within the context of one's society, sex-specific abortions [can be determined early] not a problem in the U.S. (the few times it occurs, it often is gender balancing, one boy/one girl) but causing harms to women in India. Starts with some in the weeds legal theory but then deals with the facts on the ground in a more interesting fashion. Also, notes sex selection comes pre-pregnancy, including sperm sorting!
