Ten million girls aborted
This is from a recent CBS News report. In case you still don't trust CBS, the story is also being reported by numerous other news sources. The fact that there are still human beings on this planet who claim man is 'inherently good' is substantial proof of how completely sin blinds one to reality. Anyway, here's the sad story: "Based on the natural gender ratio from other countries, they estimated that 13.6 million to 13.8 million girls should have been born in 1997 in India. However, 13.1 million were reported, the study said. "We conservatively estimate that prenatal sex determination and selective abortion accounts for 0.5 million missing girls yearly," the study said. "If this practice has been common for most of the past two decades since access to ultrasound became widespread, then a figure of 10 million missing female births would not be unreasonable," it said."
