Abortion is often portrayed as benefitting women. Yet ironically when decisions are made on the basis of sex, girls are aborted far more often than boys. Out of eight thousand amniocentesis, that is abortions, done in Bombay, seven-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-nine of them were girls, one was a boy. This is true in China. You’re only allowed to have one child and if it’s a girl, they kill it. In one study in the United States, twenty-nine out of forty-six girls were aborted, only one out of fifty-three boys were aborted. So the idea that abortion benefits women doesn’t seem to fit the facts, it winds up in the slaughter of women around the world.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is a simple hot and sour soup, made with the fish of your choice. In
Thailand the vegetable is generally phak bung (swamp cabbage), but if you
don't have that cabbage, kale, or even broccoli can be substituted
method
combine the ingredients for the chili paste to a fine even consistency.
Wash and dice the fish.
Place the fish in a bowl, add the lime juice, fish sauce, tamarind juice,
Tabasco and chili paste, and leave to marinade for at least an hour.
Bring two cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan or wok, and add the
liquid from the marinading fish, then add the vegetables and boil for about
two minutes. Adjust the flavour to taste (it should be a little salty and a
little sour, and as hot as you desire it at this stage).
Add the tomato and bring back to the boil
Add the remaining ingredients, return to the boil, and stir occasionally
until the fish is cooked.
