Canadian Medical Association Journal: Medical Journals

Rajendra Kale Dept: In an editorial published Monday, Dr. Rajendra Kale, the interim editor-in-chief of the Canadian Medical Association Journal, claims that female feticide is a small but very real problem amongst Asian immigrants, according to CTV. "This evil devalues women. How can it be curbed? The solution is to postpone the disclosure of medically irrelevant information to women until after about 30 weeks of pregnancy." The editor of one of Canada's most influential medical journals is calling on doctors to stop revealing fetal sex early on in pregnancy to prevent the "evil" abortion of females among immigrant families. "When Asians migrated to Western countries they brought welcome recipes for curries and dim sum. Sadly, a few of them also imported their preference for having sons and aborting daughters," Kale wrote. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
