>I'm not sure it is better to be born in India than it is to be aborted there.
I doubted your claim so I looked it up:
% of female genital mutilation/cutting among women aged 15-49,total (1999-2001), India: ~0%
IPU; India- Current status: Female genital mutilation is not prevalent in India.

Score yourself a -1 for spreading falsehoods about people different than yourself. Now I didn't mean to interrupt you; I think you were about to tell us about how they force women in India to wear burkhas and sacrifice humans on every feast of Shurik....
Female genital mutilation is prevalent all through the Near East, Middle East and Far East. Various immigrants have brought it to the United States and Canada.
While it may not be condoned in the Hindu communities,it is also not officially condoned in moslem communities.
It's not about what is OFFICIALLY condoned - it's about what happens in reality.
Bride burnings are against the law - not officially condoned - but they happen.
Abandoning female infants is not officially condoned, but it happens.
Aborting female infants is actually against Indian law - but it surely happens.
While Indian women might not wear burquas - purdah nd multiple marriage is certainly part of India's history.
Calling me names won't change the reality.
Pressuring widows to die upon the funeral pyre of her husband was also an Indian custom that was finally outlawed - but only by the pressure of the British Raj.
Until you are willing to understand and acknowledge what is happening - it will never change.
You can feel free to assail me as much as you want - but calling me names won't change the reality.
The facts are the facts - entire societies have enslaved, murdered and mutilated females for centuries.
