- -Vancouver(CP)-British Columbia women's groups say they will stage
- -protests if a Toronto doctor opens a sex-selection clinic in
- -Vancouver.
- - Amjad Alvi said in an interview Thursday he'll open a Vancouver
- -office within a month where parents can choose the sex of their
- -children for $500.
- - But feminists say they'll fight him every step of the way because
- -of the tendency to select males.

- What is wrong with feminists? What is wrong with feminists? Has any-
- one got any idea what is wrong with feminists? These women are crazy.
- I mean serious crazy. They can't keep their noses out of other people's
- business. One can see how afraid and paranoid they are of men by their
- actions. It is not their choice if sex selection is available. They
- have absolutely no right to have any say in a couples reproductive
- decisions. One can see that the feminist is actually after more than
- control of their own lives. The term feminazi fits very well indeed.
-
- This is not an issue. This type of behavior simply is a example to
- us all of how absurd feminism really is. If this was a single example
- then we could all laugh and let it go. But it is not. Feminism today
- is based on a fear and hatred of men and it has to be stopped. I think
- that men should do everything they can to hinder and stop the feminist
- agenda. I tell you boys it's a gender war.

- - "We will demonstrate when this clinic opens," said Fatima Jaffer
- -of the Vancouver Status of Women.
- - Alvi, 29, a Canadian-born doctor, said he uses a United States
- -technique to separate male- and female-producing sperm and artificially
- -inseminates the mother. He claims a success rate of up to 80 per cent
- -in determining sex.
- - "Basically he's marketing to the prejudice that already exists in
- -our society against women," said Sunera Thobani of Vancouver, head of
- -the reproductive technologies committee of the National Action
- -Committee for the Status of Women.
- - "The provision of this kind of technology is really disgusting."
- - Thobani called on the federal and provincial governments to ban
- -the technology, which she said discriminates against females before
- -they're even born.

- This is rich. "... discriminates against females before they are
- even born." Ever hear anything so stupid in your life. I wonder what
- their opinion is of women who abort females. By their logic a women
- who aborts a female is discriminating aginst females before they
- are born.
