"Why are they killing girls, while they're still in the womb? It's a sin for which they'll have to be answerable to God. [snip]
A Thomson Reuters Foundation expert poll last year ranked India as the
world's fourth most dangerous country for a woman, behind only
Afghanistan, Congo and Pakistan.
Even though the practice is outlawed, 300,000 to 600,000 female fetuses are aborted every year in India because of the preference for boys, according to a 2011 study by The Lancet. And the discrimination that begins while in the womb continues throughout a girl's life. [snip]
... "They send boys to good schools, they give them good food, nice clothes to wear. They treat them well. They say, 'Oh, it's my son.' To the daughter they say, 'Get the cow dung, sweep the floors. What will you do with an education?'"

I don't even have the words to express my sadness and broken heart.
Those precious little ones.

Disgusting stinking hellhole of country.
i know, i was there in 1988 training or i should say trying to train the Indian Army when i was MTT.
These countries are all the same ones Obama tells us that are equal to us or better.
I wish we could trade Obama for all these poor little kids, and send his worthless ass to India.

What's wrong with you?
Where is your understanding?
How judgmental can you be?
Don't you realize that Americans need to EXPAND their vision and begin to see that other cultures are far more important and superior to our own?
I suspect you need to be just a bit more ACCEPTING and start to kick that "judgment" thing to the curb.
You must be a Caucasoid.

BZ: Good one, you sound like Obama and the Looney Left. Of course with them it is just fine to kill girls or boys, nothing wrong with that. But a darter snail, forget it.
