"Its a girl, a film being released this year, documents the practice of killing unwanted baby girls in South Asia. The trailers most chilling scene is one with an Indian woman who, unable to contain her laughter, confesses to having killed eight infant daughters.
The statistics are sickening. The UN reports approximately 200 million girls in the world today are missing. India and China are said to eliminate more female infants than the number of girls born in the US each year..."

I have a daughter and two grand daughters. They are the joy of my life. I live in North Dakota. They live in Honolulu. I spent the money I should have saved and flew there over Christmas, it was a week of complete joy, even if it was too hot there. These days will never be forgotten between me and my oldest grandchild.
Someday the death of all the girls will haunt them
“BTW, looking at the numbers, the US aborts about EIGHT times more humans than India, per capita.”
Again, I’m guessing the infanticide, the murdering of birthed children, is not included in that number.
And post all the drawings you like, there’s a difference in the person who has a doctor abort their fetus, and the mother that strangles a newborn, or leaves it out in the cold to die.
Abortion is infanticide.
The most intriguing line of the story is, “In India women who fail to produce sons are beaten, raped or killed so that men can remarry in the hope of procuring a more productive wife.”
If I remember correctly from Biology class, the male sperm determines the sex of the child. So these uneducated morons are killing the wrong person. The man is the one to blame for female offspring. Now as a male having said that, I could not fathom life without my two wonderful daughters.
And post all the drawings you like, theres a difference in the person who has a doctor abort their fetus, and the mother that strangles a newborn, or leaves it out in the cold to die.
Is there really a difference or is just less repulsive to you if a doctor kills the baby in the womb?
Strangling vs. the mother hiring a contract killer to chop up the baby inside the womb? You see a lot of difference in the two?
Here in the US we have a term for this: Choice
I have one daughter, 15, and she is currently breaking my heart with her decisions. Regardless, I believe that somehow we will come through it (not unscathed, unfortunately) and I would never ever use even my current bad situation to condemn having children or even just daughters. All children are special. NEVER stop reassuring them that you love them in both words and deeds. In one moment they can misinterpret something and go completely off the rails.
I wonder what percentage of the spike in Chinese students to the US this year are male.
Since they value girls so much less, I bet a fairly high percent are, and probably have always been male. And probably the same for India.
That male/female imbalance will absolutely be partially transferred to all Western nations unless our idiot leaders get their heads out of the PC rear ends fairly soon.
When I was visiting a Muslim friend who had had her first child, she was busy showing off her baby boy. I asked her what her husband thought of the baby. “It’s a boy, so he’s happy. And I’m relieved. Now if the rest are girls, it doesn’t matter, because I’ve had a son.”
Turns out she was one of four girls and had one brother. Having had one son, there wouldn’t be pressure to have babies until there was a boy or abuse for failure to produce a son, as her mother had faced.
My grandmother was born in Europe and immigrated to the US before WWI. She was one of 7 sisters--the 8th child in the family was the first boy. Her parents kept having children until they had a son. All of the girls survived to adulthood.
The two deadliest words in the world: “Allah Akbar”!
I had my own awful experience with our daughter. From about 14 till she turned 18, she was my heartbreak. She didn't follow our rules, she snuck out at night, constantly ditched school, had questionable "friends". I can't tell you how many nights I drove up and down the neighborhood streets looking for her, or crying myself to sleep because I had no idea where she was. It even got to the point where I was ready to throw her out of the house because I couldn't deal with it any more. We prayed and prayed asking for strength for us and wisdom for her.
I don't recommend this, but what ended up waking her up was she got pregnant. We sat and talked for hours and I asked her if she wanted her baby around those people she hung out with. Without batting an eye, she said "NO" and that was that. She became the person we knew she could be. She married the father (who actually is a really good guy - husband and father), is a wonderful mother to our beautiful granddaughter and that horrible part of her teenage years is just a bad memory.
You just have to hang in there, for her. Even if you don't think she's paying attention, she hears what you say and one day she will appreciate your not giving up on her.
No offense but the UN is the most hypocritical organization whne it comes to being shocked at something like this.
The UN promotes population control and abortion in countries it believes have too many people. For them to care why people are aborting is ridiculous.
These same people tell us that abortion doesn’t kill a person, so the gender of the fetus should not be regarded by them as a person in the first place. Hardly consistent. Either abortion kills a person or it doesn’t. You can’t talk about the dead fetus as a person if you don’t consider it a person. These liberal knobs want to have it both ways when it suits them. Don’t accept their premise.
It’s odd that in third world countries the preference has always been to have a male child, yet in the US it seems that females are the most preferred gender.
Men are emasculated and every day you read of young boys brought up as girls.
Just interesting.
That is such pathetic backwards thinking. I am sorry for your friend and what she has to go through.
Phone call for the femanazi’s, hello femanazi’s phone call please pick up, I know your out there. Oh thats right your only national not international
Confucian China was always very patriarchal (plus sons were needed to ensure that the rites of ancestor worship would be performed). The so-called Proto-Indo-Europeans (c. 4500 B.C.) were very patriarchal and warlike and the same traits can be found in many of their descendants spread from India to Europe--the Aryan invaders of India, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, the early Germans, the Vikings, etc.
Modern feminists denounce the "patriarchy" they perceive in America but the situation in America even before the rise of the new feminist movement was pretty mild compared to most societies in human history.
