Grisly find draws attention to India fetus killings

My sister was in India this summer. One of her guides was a Muslim man whose wife was pregnant with their fifth child. He told my siste rhe was happy this baby was a boy (the other children were girls) and that he was going to force his wife to abort it the baby was not a boy. What a guy!!!

That is so sad. I’ve never understood people with their “favoring” one sex over the next, although I suffer enough from my MIL griping and poking in a nasty manner to me because I have all girls (so far). But thankfully it’s just words from her and not someone trying to kill my child just because she’s a girl.

Wow that is so sad. I pray for an end to abortion everywhere.
