Owing to sex-determination of the unborn in the process of this test, this achievement very quickly got transformed from a boon to a curse. *Abortion the cheap alternative to dowry':
In the abortions performed after sex-determination, 97% of the cases, i.e. almost all were of female foeticide.
The number of female foeticide during the last five years has grown by almost 200% and has created a deep imbalance in the sex ratio. (Females per 1000 males were 935 in 1981, has come down to 929 in 1991. In some states this ratio has come down to as low as 882.) This will encourage the existing problems like prostitutions etc. and lead to diseases like AIDS taking epidemic proportions.
Government of Maharashtra first banned the sexdetermination of the foetus. This was followed by many other states.
But no evil is fully eradicated merely by making acts because selfish elements always find out some way.
In order to maintain the dignity of their parenthood, they should neither undergo sex-determination test themselves nor to advise any one else to undergo such tests.
The girl also is as much a part of her parents as the boy. A female foetus has the same amount of life as a male foetus.
The source of inspiration for Saint Tulsi Dasa and great poet Kalidasa, to become great laureates were women only.
The English proverb 'There is a woman behind every successful man' is accepted universally.
It is an absolute truth that a son or a daughter bring
their own fate with them. There are many examples around us where the daughter of a poor person is enjoying the riches of life and has also eliminated the poverty of her parents and brothers, whereas the son of a wealthy person is in distress having lost all the wealth he inherited.
In many families the sons do not prefer to stay with their parents and wherever they stay, there is strife in the family.
Had the sons been a support in the old age, (of the parents) then there would have been no need to open new old age homes every day!
In the present age girls are excelling boys in almost every field. The success ratio of girls is generally better than that of boys.
Treating the girls inferior to the boys, therefore, is totally unjustified and based on talse notions and the killing of an unborn girl is such a wrong and sinful act that neither that one undergoing in nor the one performing it, can escape its punishments and they will have to face the consequences of such an inhuman act for many lives to come.
As mother Terresa said - "Abortion is nothing but a murder of a child. Think what would have happened if your mother had adopted the same course towards you at your birth." Anti-Abortion Websites:
