Aborting girls in Asia is a very CONSERVATIVE practice. A government mandate that a couple can only have one child is a very LIBERAL practice. And it turns out that aborting girls in asia is also a very LIBERAL practice, not conservative at all. obviously Iiberals hate girls and women.

Aborting girls in Asia is a very CONSERVATIVE practice. Nice example of equivocation. It may or may not be the tradition (can't be that long of one, abortion used to not be nearly as common, but I'll go with that for now), so in that sense its "conservative". But calling it "conservative" in a political debate in the US, is like calling high social spending conservative because we've been doing it for generations. Conservative as a political tradition (esp., but not only in the US), doesn't mean the same as conservative in the sense of resistance to change. They are two different meanings for the same word.
