Kiya: There is no way IMO to justify the female foeticide in India
Womble: Pro argument:
Of course there is! Are you talking about the female aspect of it or the foetus part of it? Or both?
Both, as my edit yesterday showed <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />- see?

It's difficult for me to see this topic from a merely intellectual approach. I don't consider abortion/killing babies as an appropriate method to fight over-population. This could be done in a better way by preventing pregnancy with a health information policy and free access to contraceptiva. Besides that, norms determining fertility as something positive and valuable should be questioned. And no, I don't consider forced sterilisation as an appropriate method either.
Idle thought => it's strange, rat experiments showed that they turn infertile due to over-population - sadly, our organism (the oh, so advanced one) doesn't have this regulative. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />
