We also don't want to be part of nation where a government/pandit backed genocide of females is going on. How many females did you abort today?
Abortion of Girls on the Rise in India
"A 2011 census shows that
India has fewer and fewer girls, mostly because unborn
female babies are being killed at a very high
rate.
Many
traditional Indian families do not want to have girls because they would have to give her husband’s family a large
amount of money when she marries. These dowries, as they are called, have been
banned since the 1960s, but still play a big part in Indian
society. While Indian families think that only boys can
preserve the family’s name and
pride, a girl is often looked at as a
burden. She goes off, gets married and enters another family.
Many
pregnant women
abort their unborn child as soon as they find out it is a girl.
According to a
study, up to 8 million unborn
females may have been killed during the last ten years.
In 1961 there were 976 girls for every 1,000 boys under the age of seven. 50 years later statistics show that this
figure has
dropped to 914 girls. Only
China has an even lower
ratio of boys to girls.
Human rights organizations are
accusing the
government of not doing enough to stop the
abortion of girls. Abortion is
legal in India up to the 12th week of
pregnancy but the
sex of a child can be
determined only much later. In the past clinics that can
determine the sex of a baby through ultrasound examinations have
emerged. Some of them
offer package prices for tests and
immediate abortions if they show that a girl is on the way.
Especially when a family already has one girl
chances are that a second pregnancy might be
aborted if it the
fetus is female. The
abortion of girls is also higher among richer families and those living in cities."
