Santanu Roy said on AssamNet:

+  I have many questions: 
+  
+  Would a pro-choice point of view support selective choice in abortion? 

this looks like a curious problem, but if one goes to first
principles, then it is not.  pro-choice is the right of individuals
to make a choice against societal norms.  selective abortion in
india is a result of societal norms.  parents decide not to have a 
female child because of societal pressures. therefore, a pro-choice 
advocate can argue that selective abortion is the result of a lack of 
choice.
