Mara Hvistendahl has written a book, Unnatural Selection,  detailing the consequences of sex-selective abortions. Since the late 1970s, 163 million female babies have been aborted by parents seeking sons. Read the Wall Street Journal review.

Nature yields a boy-to-girl ratio of about 105 boys for every 100 girls. The advent of technologies that detect the sex of an unborn baby and the wide spread use of abortion has led to skewed sex ratios around the globe. This messing with nature has yielded many unintended consequences.

1. Cultures with abnormally high boy to girl ratios tend to be more violent
2. Girls are often sold into prostitution when the bot to girl ratio is un-natural.
