WE BLOGGED ON THIS HERE AND HERE.NEW DELHI (AFP) - India's first woman president was sworn into office Wednesday and promised to fight for the rights of women and an end to the widespread practice of aborting female foetuses.
AFP adds:
India loses an average of 7,000 girls every day through abortions because of a traditional preference for sons, according to a Unicef report last year.
Abortions have also resulted in a severely skewed gender ratio in India, where there are only 927 females for every 1,000 males — far lower than the worldwide average of 1,050 females.
NOT MANY OTHER BLOGGERS HAVE POSTED A SINGLE WORD ON THIS - DESPITE THE FACT THAT 10,000,000 (YEAH MILLION) FEMALE FOETOSES HAVE BEEN KILLED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS IN INDIA.
