Montenegro Continues To Fumble Its ‘Son Preference,’ Sex-Selective Abortion Problems
Jun 7, 2021 – During recent debate in parliament on the dwindling proportion of newborn girls in Montenegro, a lawmaker “sincerely condemned” the trend but brushed it off as an unavoidable result of medical “technique” and the state of “the world” today.
He then followed his blasé allusion to family-building-by-abortion with a kicker.
“Every citizen has the right to influence the reproduction of their children,” ruling coalition member Dragan Ivanovic told fellow legislators on May 24.
The use of abortion to choose sons over daughters has been illegal in this demographically challenged former Yugoslav republic of some 623,000 people since 2009.
