“In the vicinity of a private hospital in Patiala district, a 30-ft-deep well yielded 50 dead foetuses, all female. The location of the well near the clinic was not accidental. For, clearly, despite the PNDT Act, the aborting of female foetuses continues virtually unchecked. The ‘unacceptable crime’ is still flourishing…”

it is sad.. but this is rampant.. but once a while, if we put ourselves in the shoes of the poor parents, we might sympathise a little with them…

I don’t know if I can agree with aborting a foetus just because the sex of the foetus is female.
