   Yes, but this has something to do with migration patterns. Europeans of Christian European heritage don’t privilege boys over girls THAT much.

   And what makes Albania and Macedonia different from other European countries? Hmmm..

   You know, when this story broke at this time last year, the words used to describe gender-selective abortion was female feticide. That term only lasted a couple of days, and then was euphemized down to gender-selective abortion, which is still a pretty strong term for abortion advocates.

   I wonder where the memo came from saying “Though shalt not use the term ‘female feticide’ in this discussion.” It was like a shooting star–it was everywhere, but only for a day or two, and then it was gone.

   I, for one, think the term feticide is particularly apt to this discussion.
