\u201cAnti-abortion groups and pundits have proven all too eager to to take on the issue [of the gender ratio crisis], though they seem far more interested in driving home restrictions on abortion than they do in increasing the number of women in the world and protecting the rights of women at risk.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
