oh well, its just garbage either way. Take out the trash, they are simply blobs. No harm no foul right? Sorry lady, made a mistake. Better luck next time right? /boggle
And that's the way you view the decision that this woman and her husband made? As a cheerful, cavalier decision? On what do you base that viewpoint? Besides, of course, the desire to see things that way because it's much easier.
There are some Indians (I know some) who want to abort female fetuses. I came across an Indian woman who was 8 months pregnant with a female fetus and was begging my cousins wife (who is a lawyer) to find some loophole in the law so she could get an abortion. Reason? Her husband didnt want a girl.
I am Indian myself in the USA and see it in our community ALL the time.
Chinese people here...Indians....MUSLIMS......they want males.
My mother never got over the grief of having me and my sister. No sons.
Everything you say is true, sad as it may be. I live in a predominantly Indian town and I have had more then one Indian woman "praise" me for having two boys as if I had some say in the matter. I have had Indian men ask me to "talk" to their wives and tell them what to do so they can have a boy. It is bizarre to say the least.
Yes, I got that. I did read the article. The mother risked the other babies life by choosing to abort the one diagnosed with problems. And, now it is dead. Period.
Sad, very sad indeed.
Corrections. The mother and father risked the other baby's life by choosing a selective reduction of the very unhealthy one.

Allowing a fetus with congenital malformations to continue to develop doesn't pose a risk to the other fetus?

So then they feel that way; are they actually doing something about it? Are they actually aborting the female fetuses? Because that was the point: whether or not abortions that are actually performed are based on such cavalier attitudes. I'm not asking about wishful thinking and disappointment, I'm asking for facts. I am no tin this community so I don't know...therefore, again, if anyone has statistics on a significantly higher number of males than females being born into this community in the U.S., I will then say: Yes, in this community, anyway, certain women are making what I personally would consider a stupid decision to abort healthy babies.
So I'll await stats on that, and in the meantime, the issue of Indian women wishing they had males doesn't really have any parallel to what the mother and father in this news story must have been feeling. They were not trying to abort a healthy baby girl because it was a girl.
So they have ultrasounds to determine the sex (or CVS or amnio) and if it's a girl, they abort it?
Do you have numbers to support a very high percentage of boys v. girls being born in these populations, since the girls are being aborted? Just curious.
I mean I know you're busy trying to support the whole "women are selfish people who make hideous decisions concerning their fetuses for no good reason" agenda here, but really, at least have the facts first. If you have links to support your assertions, please do show them as I would be curious. If not, you're only adding fuel to the fire for your own reasons, which, itself, is reprehensible, IMO.
As I stated I live in a predominantly Indian and Asian town and when I went to the hospital when I was pregnant with my first son my husband and I had to beg the lady to tell us the sex. The hospital has implemented a rule not to give out the sex because yes woman will abort if they are having girls or have their husbands scream and yell at them.
The assertions that LV makes are 110% correct I have seen it first hand.

Hey doc, can your scrape out this defect, I don't want to deal with it, please get rid of this garbage so I can have a normal baby! thanks, here is a tip, scrape away!
Please, play the emotional point on some idiot who has no clue to the procedure. Your ignorant attempt to impose such an emotional appeal is for lack of a better word, retarded. But hey, we can always scrap them out, no worries!

*L* Your argument is nothing but emotional appeal. Why do you always accuse people of doing what you yourself are doing?

So what you're saying is what you're basing it on, is some odd rant that can't actually be attributed to anyone and which came from your own thoughts? Or...what was that, exactly?

EXACTLY! In Vancouver, Canada-my cousins wife had a clinic next to her. There was a sign on their door that said "Due to new law enforcements we do NOT reveal the gender" or something.
Sometimes the husbands attack the woman and she stays silent because she is not supposed to disobey her husband.

Exactly. Odd that some people dont believe me when I say it.
As I said before, my mother NEVER got over the grief of never having a son. Did you see my other post about when we went to India? My parents and I and my sis walked in and they kept the door open waiting for their "son". Finally they asked "Wheres your son?" My parents were shamed as they said they didnt have one. And they *COMFORTED* my parents saying that God did it for a reason, etc etc.
When my sister was born, my mom cried for days because it was just another worthless girl.
I could not believe the nerve of that woman who was 8 months pregnant though. All because her husband didnt want a female. 8 months is far too late into it. My cousins wife refused to look for loopholes for her. And meanwhile, it was not in the US, Canada is similar enough, yes?
People think this is a issue only in homelands. Not at all. They come HERE and bring their stupid little cultural issues with them.
