Abortion Craze in India

A recent study shows that parents in India have close to 500,000 abortions per year, simply because the baby that would have arrived, was going to be a girl. There is a craze there for having boys. There were some disturbing numbers.

*Average worldwide births are 100 boys to 105 girls*

Previous child was a girl:
759 girl births to every 1000 boy births

Previous 2 children were girls:
719 girl births to every 1000 boy births

Previous Child was a boy:
"...the gender ratio among successive births was about the same." - Yahoo!

And on top of that, educated mothers reportedly have even more abortions to avoid having their second child be a girl. However that number has not been disclosed yet.

After affects of this infanticide include:
A ratio of 93 females to 100 males in India, and falling
Bachelors being forced to buy their wife
60% of baby girls being killed within 3 days AFTER birth in areas like the Salem District

In a letter to NARAL/Pro-Choice America, I had this to ask them:
"I recently came across an article about how parents in India were getting close to 500,000 abortions per year, simply because the fetus was going to be a girl. My question is, since NARAL supports legalizing abortions and making them easy to obtain. Do you support abortions for the solely because of the baby's gender? Do you support abortions for parents who are able to easily raise the child, but just decided not to use birth control?"
