What's the problem with girls?
In an article I read online about India's female foeticide... I was appauled! Foeticide (or feticide), is better known for "fetus homicide," or the killing of a fetus. After reading this article online... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13421267, i I able to see the troubles that is going on in India's society. Just listen to this:
India legally allows abortion up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Gender can be determined only after 14 weeks of pregnancy and sex selective abortion is illegal. But medical practitioners have found a way of circumventing the law.
Could you imagine having your child ripped out of you when they are nearly fully developed? In this specific article, a woman almost had her 4th daughter aborted based on the fact that she could not afford her and just because she was going to be her 4th girl, rather than her 4th CHILD. Due to this illegal ideology, India's government is offering books and uniform allowances when a girl reaches 9th grade. Such girls will even receive a free bike at that time as well. This is specifically aimed towards girls because people in India become "saddened when a girl is born." How could one look down upon the birth of a baby girl? Better yet, their culture and religious values force them to recreate/reproduce. How on earth will these various countries be able to reproduce if there are no girls left to do so!? Did they ever think of that! In India, the price of an abortion is equivalent to $110 in American money. Many states across America are making abortions illegal and considering abortions as "fetal homicide." Just as Indian government is trying to expand on. In America today, 38 countries have made abortion illegal and declared it to be murder and the act of homicide against an unborn child regardless of gender. Only 13 states in America consider abortion to still be legal, but it is only legal when dependent on the age of the fetus whether or not to terminate it. Personally, this is all disgusting- metaphorically and literally. If you can't deal with your baby, give it up for adoption. Someone in your country or elsewhere will want that baby, but they won't want it dead- male or female.
