Abort The Mindset Not the Girl Child!

3

Our country India, the land of Gods, is respected in the world for her mythological culture. But, sadly there are some of the stained systems in our country which are the black spots in our image. Abortion of Girls is one of those much discussed systems. Although it is one of the most hated systems surprisingly it is growing day by day. This increasing system is a growing injustice to our society and morals

Cases Regarding Abortion of girls in India Listen to the voice of an unborn girl :“Today my existence in my mother’s womb was disclosed. How happy she and my father are. Maybe my parents are selecting a name for me.Maybe they are deciding to get my room in pink with toys all around. But still they don’t know that I am a girl. My father is advising my mom to go for sonography in order to know whether I am a boy or a girl. If they will come to know that I am a girl, without giving a single thought they will kill me. But I do want to come into thisbeautiful world, soPLEASE DON’T KILL ME DAD,PLEASE DON’T KILL ME MOM.

According to the latest survey reports of 2008 conducted by a private news channel (news x), sex ratio in the area of Fategarh Sahib has further dropped to just 300 females per thousand males which was earlier around 600+.Despite the government’s attempts to ban the practice of female abortion, the number of abortions done have increased. Still there are large numbers of women who go for abortions whether willingly or under the pressure of her family. Still there are large number of private clinics running recklessly making people shell out large amount of money for getting the abortions done. The main reason for female abortion is just the mindset of the people who think girls are not important, girls are burden. Boys are more important as they carry the so called family name, fame and business forward. This is wrong

It is said that God created Mothers because He could not be present everywhere.

But its unbelievable to realize that God’s representatives is continuously killing someone beautiful even before she can

come out and see the beauty of the nature.

We Indians call our nation, Mother India and are great devotees of

Goddess in various manifestations.

But we all are openly playing double standard games with our country as well as our Goddess.

One end we say that we worship Maa Saraswathi, Maa Durga, Maa Lakshmi and at

the other end we are continuously destroying the precious gift of nature,

“A Girl Child”.

This is an epidemic which can not be eradicated easily but YES,

We can definitely bring about a change by Raising our voice against it.

So Lets Join Our Hands And Fight Against This Injustice
