Girl gives birth on the street...
#25
Clad, sex selective abortions is indeed more common these days in China and India with ultrasound technology more accessible there. But, there remains an ongoing problem with discarded female fetuses found routinely in garbage and public disposal areas. Two years ago, 21 female babies (some may have been fetuses) were found dumped in a Chinese river; hospital workers were charged. The Chinese government acknowledges the problem of both gendercide through high numbers of female abortions and infanticide. India faces and acknowledges the same problems, not only amongst the poor, but also the rich and educated. The means for killing these newborn Indian girls are unbelievable.

A few articles, if you're interested.
