This thread is not about abortion, don't try to kill it by dragging it down that road.

As for the impact of a shortage of women, your logic makes zero sense. Women don't have any bargaining weight because men need wives. If anything it's the opposite. In the lower classes their families have to pay for husbands for the girls and some are still being killed because the in-laws don't think the dowry was big enough.

Women in India are beginning to assert their rights in many areas. No doubt globalization leads to people all over the world seeing the rights others enjoy and finding like-minded people to join together. In India there have been movements to force the police to arrest rapists and prosecute dowry murderers.

This particular movement is connected to the women forcing their way into a prominent Hindu Temple and some extremists men resisting and rioting. The courts ruled in favor of the women and amazingly the police are actually supporting the move.
