Cheap ultrasound sex-selection has skewed India’s sex ratio.

Evidence

Serial dramas set in India, which has almost 1.3 billion people, address the myriad ways in which women are marginalized and denied educational aspirations. A strong cultural gender bias exists in India. Radiologists offer cheap ultrasound tests in villages to identify female fetuses, some of which are aborted. This practice has produced a growing imbalance of females to males, a practice that already is having huge social consequences. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2903
