[size=18]Desperate British Asians fly to India to abort baby girls[/size]

Women refused terminations on the NHS are joining the millions of Indians who have surgery to uphold a sons-only tradition.

As many as 13 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India in the past two decades following prenatal gender checks. Hi-tech mobile ultrasound technology, it seems, is responsible for sending millions of women to backstreet abortion clinics across the country.

But abortion of female foetuses has long been a part of life in Britain and The Observer has uncovered evidence that pregnant British Asian women, some in effect barred by the NHS after numerous abortions, are now coming to India for gender-defining ultrasounds and, if they are expecting girls, terminations.

The medical procedure is called partial-birth abortion. After around 24 weeks in the womb, two-thirds of a full-term pregnancy, the foetus is pulled from the mother feet first, up to the neck. The doctor then creates a hole in the skull to take out the brain, making it easier to collapse the head and take out the foetus.

'There is a common saying among Indians, Ladka marey kambakth ka; Ladki marey bhaagwaan ki (It is a fool who loses his male child and the fortunate who loses a girl). It's the logic these people hold and they will keep going until they get what they want, a son.'

How depressing.

I think finding out the sex of the baby should be strictly banned in every country.

It's like they are living in the modern world and the stone age simultaneously.

They should have their British citizenship revoked if they refuse to give up these barbaric traditions.

The Demoncrats want partial birth abortions to be legal in the United States.

But that's because they hate children, the United States and anything that approaches "ethics"

Alito = death of Row.

ohhh boy I can't wait until we get this country back on track

That is sick.
