Feminist movement picky about where to apply muscle

Frit notes that, in Sweden, it is now okay for adherents of a certain religion to abort female foetuses at will. So where is the outcry from the feminist movement? Over at the UN Women’s Watch site, for instance, the mighty United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality has a very great deal to say about “incorporating gender equality issues into urban development policies”, and about “women’s voices being raised by the Global Gender Climate Alliance at the climate talks in Bonn”, and about many similarly weighty issues, but has not a word to say about killing the women of the future, in Europe, for reasons of sheer prejudice and financial gain. Almost makes you think that people at the United Nations Inter-Agency Network on Women and Gender Equality are just in it for the money, power and prestige.
