    ABC News: How Much Is Your Daughter Worth?

    How awful and completely unacceptable!!! Ahh...I can't believe my country still does this.

We need to redirect focus on educating women, and educating the public against things like dowries and required domesticities of women (especially in the rural areas).

    Quoted: By the time you finish reading this story, 10 more female fetuses in India will have been aborted. Aborted by a medical profession that profits ...
