UK Indian women 'aborting girls'

Well well well the BBC has finally caught up with what is "common knowledge" that Indians will kill female children so as to have the chance of producing a (More highly valued) male child, Just goes to show how caring these wonderful people are and how lucky the UK is to have so many of them living here.

A study suggests Indian women in the UK are aborting unborn daughters so they can have more boys, the BBC's Asian Network has learned.

The Oxford University study suggests 1,500 girls are "missing" from the birth statistics in England and Wales from 1990 to 2005

One British woman, who spoke to the BBC anonymously, said she had an abortion after a doctor in India found she was to have a fourth daughter.

"Unfortunately it was another girl. My husband and I thought the burden would probably be too much and the pressure when I got back home. So we decided to terminate," she said.

In Indian culture, the preference for boys over girls is well known.

Getting rid of baby girls is a practice that is so widespread in some parts of India that it has skewed dramatically the ratio of males to females.

Female foeticide, as it is known, has been illegal in India since the early 1980s.

It is also illegal to offer scans to find out the sex of a baby - but the law is regularly flouted and many UK women make the trip to India where obtaining a scan purely for purpose of sexing an unborn child is easy if you have the correct amount of money, Ah the hypocratic Oath at its worst!!!!.

Once again this illustrates the dangers of allowing alien cultures to be imported, only for them to potentially upset the population balance of the UK, OH GREAT!!!!!
