The baby girls given away on the show were found by an NGO, the Chhipa Welfare Association, which says it receives up to 15 abandoned babies a month. …

well, whatever they may be doing, they are not aborting the babies. Abandoning them is next in line of bad things, but these little girls may have a chance. May God watch over the little ones
