that is so wicked, glance. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" /> u play the evil advocate very well.
& speak of the advocate, the parts where u mentioned 'condemn her to a life of an unmarried woman?' & 'is it not more humane to abort than to put a grown woman into a conflict of conscience by ...' is hypocrisy slapped with hypocrisy.
how is it so? nobody & i mean absolutely nobody has prescience to know the future to be bleak for unmarried women, be it indians or otherwise. just because u fear for the future of the unborn, u deny them life & chance to fight their ways to live a full life? & as for abortion (speaking generally of course) to be more humane than bringing a daughter up in india, how can one tell that it is rather than denying her chance to live, survive & thrive despite it all?
abortion is a choice rather than a right of women. right depends on the law & perception of society. choice depends on women & should be as they are the ones who will have to bear the child & all the complications that come with it. & as for female foeticide in india & generally anywhere else, it is up to the women who bear the foetuses, be it right or wrong.
heck, we can say we're right & she's wrong for doing this or that but she is the one with the burden & pain of consequences. she at least has the choice to do what she feels is fair for herself & foetus.
most of us agree that majority rules. that is democracy. so who are we to tell majority of indian women to stop aborting female fetuses just because? are we going to feed the children? are we going to finance their growing needs? education? be their parents?
