Luke de Pulford, who works for a homelessness charity in the East End of London, asks
How much are we paying for girls to be aborted and women to be forcibly sterilised? In 2009-2010 £55 million was spent on international population control programmes such as the abortion of 12 million girls in India, leading to a skewed ratio of males to females in that country (117 boys to every 100 girls.)

There is another way of getting rid of girls - change them into boys by genitoplasty or phalloplasty as it more commonly called in this country. This is practised on baby girls in India it appears. John Smeaton has drawn our attention to this and details appear at:

Phalloplasty for adult women was partly developed in the UK and was practised at our own leading Catholic Hospital of St John & St Elizabeth. It was claimed that when the operation was performed on its own then it was okay. Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor failed to give a ruling on this and it was said that the Bishops Conference ruled that it was okay if the patient felt better afterwards. It would be interesting to know whether the Hospital still allows such operations. I note that the prohibition on female genital mutilation has been removed from their new Code of Ethics. I understand them to say that because a prohibition is removed it does not mean it is permissible. Work that one out!
Still it is good to see that the Indian bishops unlike ours deplore this "horrible practice" saying: "“It is the result of a mindset that favors [the] male as a source of profit and as a son of greater value, mortifying the dignity of women.”
