In all cases, some youngster gets killed by its mother because of not being wanted, for one reason or another. If the reason is not to save the life of the mother, it's an act of convenience or preference.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13928193043008650438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502394216918844890.post-28897006930685460492011-04-30T21:21:31.378-04:002011-04-30T21:21:31.378-04:00Thank you for this!

Michelle Goldberg has a fantastic chapter in her book "The Means of Reproduction" all about sex-selective abortion, which I didn't know about before reading it- going into serious detail about what drives Indian women/couples/families to employ sex-selective abortion (basically, it boils down to how financially oppressive having a daughter is, thanks to how marriage, weddings, and dowries/gifts work in the culture).<br /><br />Sex-selective abortions are illegal in India, but that doesn't stop them from happening at all- like you point out, the only thing that will change the supply is to change the demand, and that happens by removing what causes parents to want boys and not want girls.<br /><br />And sorry some of these other commenters are being such douchebags. It's always such a revelation when I- a proud atheist- am one of the few non-judgmental folks in a Christian setting.Cand86http://cand86.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6502394216918844890.post-68475305800146694952011-02-15T22:54:57.670-05:002011-02-15T22:54:57.670-05:00You know, considering how many supposed Christians...You know, considering how many supposed Christians there are commenting on this, there's an awful lot of judging going on... <br /><br />1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.<br />2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. <br />- Mk. 4.24 <br /><br />I didn't realise that you were all so qualified to decide who was Christian and who was not.

Atleast it says so in your "define me" box.<br />If you claim to be a Christian, no offense...that's hypocritical. Bible clearly states that abortion is WRONG.<br />Need proof?<br />Proverbs 24: 11-12 – “Rescue those who are unjustly sentenced to death; don’t stand back and let them die. Don’t try to avoid responsibility by saying you didn’t know about it. For God knows all hearts and he sees you. He keeps watch over your souls, and he knows you know. And he will judge all people according to what they have done.” <br />Psalm 51:5 – “I was born a sinner – yes, from the moment my mother conceived me.” <br />Jeremiah 1:5 – “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.”<br />Did not he who made me in the womb make them? Did not the same one form us both within our mothers? (Job 31:15).<br /><br />There's plenty more. <br />Just thought I'd let you know. <br />So, please. For the sake of all Christians who live by the Word of God and apply it to our lives, change it on your profile. God doesn't like hypocrites.Kristanoreply@blogger.com
