Another case linking domestic violence to abortion is being reported in India this week.
According to First Post, police in India arrested a man on Monday after he allegedly murdered his wife and unborn child when she refused to have an abortion.
The wife, Pratibha Gautam, 30, was three months pregnant when her body was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her house in Kanpur, India, according to the report. Her husband, Manu Abhishek, said he found her body after returning home from a trip; however, a postmortem report indicates that she was murdered.
Authorities found injury marks from a blade on her wrists and injuries on her hands and legs that indicate she may have been beaten with a rod, according to police. Evidence indicates she later was strangled with a rope and hanged from the ceiling fan, police said.
According to police, they arrested Abhishek after going through his phone records. They said the couple had been fighting because Gautam refused Abhishek’s demands to abort their unborn child.
Violence against pregnant women and their unborn babies is common – even without counting abortion. Pregnant women face high levels of domestic violence. In the United States, one in six women is first abused during pregnancy, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Keep up with the latest pro-life news and information on Twitter.
As allegedly happened in the recent India case, sometimes the abuse occurs after the woman refuses her partner’s demands to have an abortion. In another case in Pennsylvania, a man allegedly beat and choked his pregnant girlfriend after she refused to have an abortion in October 2015. Last month, LifeNews reported another case where police arrested a Tennessee man after his pregnant girlfriend accused him of kicking and hitting her when she told him that she would not abort their baby.
Several studies also have linked domestic violence to abortion. In these cases, some women were forced or pressured by partners into having abortions, while others believed having an abortion would help them escape abuse.
In a 2011 study in The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, one woman told researchers: “So when I found out I was pregnant he was like … oh go get an abortion, I don’t want no baby now and threatening me and he was trying to get [X] to come and beat me up, he was telling me he was going to stab me and slice up my face and kick the baby out of my stomach and like … it was really scary.”
The study found that almost 40 percent of the women seeking abortions had a history of physical abuse and relationship issues. Yet, a Canadian study found that half of the women who went to an abortion clinic said they were not screened for abuse.
I know this is important to you but we have an important election coming up and what happens in India right now is not that important.
What happens to women and babies is always important.
It’s kinda part of what this election is about.
The husband, btw, was simply exercising his right to choose. I mean this in all seriousness, per the logic of the pro-abortion crowd.
When I read stories about someone being hanged from a ceiling fan, my first reaction is that someone did a really good job on the installation.
And my first question is whether the fan was on, so the person spun around on the blades. The second question being, of course, whether a dog leash was used as in the case of the killing of Bernie Madoff’s son.
It also has the immigration connection. These are the types of people Hillary wants to let in with her dream of open borders. This issue is very important in this election.
This is the kind of diversity that they are importing into our country. What happens in India does not stay in India anymore, they are coming here in droves. We have whole condo complexes full of Indians here in the Richmond Virginia area.
Bottom line, the world is getting much more violent. Or does it just seem that way thanks to advances in communications and the fact that we are occupying this time and believe it to be worse.
In the final analysis, there is no remedy to eradicate it completely. However, the further societies move away from religions that denounce these types of behaviors, the more of these types of behaviors that society experiences. In some societies their religion actually promotes these types of behaviors through either honor killings, or simply male dominance beliefs & teachings.
Oh but it’s very important. I have FReepers tell me that forced abortions don’t happen, that women want to abort their babies. Forced abortions do and they happen all over the world.
You think this doesn’t happen in the US? Extract your head from your rectum and pay attention.
Some FReepers don’t. Like I said it happens everywhere. I have to keep posting to remind them.
Not my circus. Not my monkeys.
what does that mean, noob?
So we should simply ignore everything else going on in the world because we have an election? o.O
Mr. Noob Douglas means that he doesn’t care about it.
“Language: Polish. Translation: Nie mój cyrk, nie moje malpy. Meaning: Not my problem. While more cryptic than just saying “not my problem”, the Polish expression “not my circus, not my monkeys” makes perfect sense, and is a lot more fun to say.”
It’s a polish proverb.

BTW, I’ve actually been a member since 1998 but changed my name to more fit who I am. Think “green acres”.
At least he didn’t eat a cow.
That would be bad.
Great metaphor!

I agree, but without the sarcasm tag. :-D
