This is what I do not understand.
Most Indians are Hindus and are vegetarians. They are vegetarians solely for one purpose--their religion teaches them that ALL life is precious and they shouldn't kill animals!
Then you see them here in the USA voting for pro-abortion democrats and in India they approve of abortion on demand and selective gender tactics using the test tube.
They won't eat a steak or some fried chicken and won't kill cockroaches running around thier homes and stores and think a cow is sacred. Yet they can murder children in God's Image!
I just don't get it?

You are confused here, it is not Hinduism that drives these people to commit this crime, it is economics, at least 'idiot-economics'. It is the prospect of the parents having to take care of a child in rural India which is highly male-dominated, when they themselves are poor, and do not believe that a girl child can succeed in life. But if you look at the rest of India, women have every chance to succeed. Fools who masquerade as humans(these village-folk kind who get abortion done to female foetuses), don't get it at all. But this is rapidly changing. Remember, many in America thought it inept to allow women to vote, not centuries ago. Such ills arise out of poverty, and that's precisely why poverty is such an ill. As for the terrorist Islamics, that's a whole different story.
