MD2015 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 The below quote together with about 800,000 sex selection abortions annually to destroy the lives of females in India during ther last decade is a stain on the conscience of India. "Many factors come into play to explain this: infanticide, abuse and neglect of girl children." And it is sad that there is no political will to eradicate this continuing genocide.

apache Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 i saw something on the bbc yesterday on that about china (1 child law), except it was sort of a joke segment showing how hard it was for men to find women to marry because of the abortion gap, i was pretty surprised that that would be the biggest of their concerns...

Cnussey Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I'll take the babies. They should ban permitting families to see the sex of the babies. Amongst other things they should be doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
