8 million women are missing in India. No they weren’t kidnapped and sold. 8 million is the number of female babies that were aborted because the family did not want to raise a female child.
Now, this is not what the womens movement had in mind when they supported the womans right to an abortion. But, it is the result none the less. So, they effective gave women the right to selective abort their female children and keep their male children. Ironic isn’t it?
