This article is about gender-specific abortions. Illegal, yes. But why was it made illegal? Because it was happening so frequently because India, like China, has a warped preference for males over females.
That is not happening in this country. Yet. It might, and that would be disgusting.
“It is estimated up to 10 million female foetuses have been terminated over the past 20 years...” (Source: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1605766/posts)
Can’t you just condemn this barbarity? Must you and your pals take this news as an attack on your country and come rushing in by Attacking America rather than an attack on abortion?
We can, do and must.

There are some people out here with a paranoid hatred against things Indian and of India. I suspect many of them to be Pakistanis and Chinese posing as Americans. You don't find me jumping in to criticise America for no warrant, do you? Someone starts the dirty work of diverting away from the main topic at hand, and using the news to malign the people for sometimes totally unrelated reasons. That ticks me. This is an internet forum, a place where one challenges the views of another, with facts and reason, and is not a happy, gay place where everyone agrees with each other and therefore has nothing to argue about. As long as the posting guidelines are followed, you shouldn't be having a problem.
Someone starts it, and they deserve being responded to, usually with enough facts that it gets them to shut up, and leave, usually embarrassed, like in the last case. If people can't stand up to that, well, tough toenails.
It may come as news to you, but there are hundreds of Freepers here who aren't Americans at all. The fact that we are Indians wasn't surprising to most. It appears like you just made the discovery.
