This was discussed before on an abortion thread - couldn't find it.
About 10 yrs ago, a Canadian TV news show, "Fifth Estate", did a segment on women of this religion in British Columbia who were having ultrasounds to determine the sex of their baby, then going to private clinics in Oregon where they would abort the female babies.
So it's not just happening in India, but here in Canada, too.
Truly horrifying, I agree.
It's good you're talking about it - like all secrets, once they are in the open, maybe the abuse can be stopped!!!!!

since you don't know Donkey on a personal level, you would nopt be able to understand where he is comming from.
Companies are about to pour thousands upon thousands of jobs to India. HSBC Bank alone is cutting over 6 THOUSAND jobs here in the US and giving them to India. His point is not lack of empathy for people of the country in the way you are assuming, but empathy for the citizens of the country where he resides. Not everybody is a bleeding heart to issues in the world. The entire thing makes ME SICK, but Donkey is purely a family sort of man, and his concerns are kept to those who are close around him. It doesn't mean he is wrong, it just means he does not share your views, he keeps his concerns close to home. He never said "good" or that he thought any of this was a good idea, but to be frank, I am pro-abortion now that I know God is a farce. I would rather see a fetus be aborted than a woman burned alive or raised in abusive poverty by a tyrant who likes to control and beat "his woman" around.

At first reading I thought the abortions were horrible... but after reading about the lives these poor girls have to look forward too, maybe it's for the best. Times like these you realize how lucky you are to be living in a first world country in the 21st century.

yes, my point.
I swear it is better a fetus is aborted than to life a life of pure HELL. The entire thing is sick, but those embryos are luckier than we realize.
All of this is based upon God. The root to so many things is about God. And once you educate yourself and realize fact from ficiton, your view point on abortion DRASTICALLY changes.

Why would they have a need to abort if they are not residing in the middle east? Surley they aren't burining brides in British Columbia?
After reading about the torture that women are put through in India, it puts the abortion problem in a different perspective when trying to understand why they do it. However, it does not extend to Oregon.

This is a problem that will self correct... it is just a matter of time before women in India become so rare that the MEN start paying the family of the woman for the right to marry HER.
There is already a movement to get rid of the dowry... as India modernizes such practices will disappear just as racism has gradually been disappearing in the US. It does take time, but it will happen.
