The remains of dozens of foetuses and newborn babies have been found in an abandoned well in India, apparently aborted or discarded after birth because they were female.
Police are investigating whether a clinic in the state of Orissa identified the infants’ sex before birth, which is illegal yet widespread in India, and then disposed of them at their parents’ request.
A 12-year-old boy raised the alarm after finding the remains of seven baby girls stuffed into bloody polythene bags in a disused well near the Krishna clinic in the district of Nayagarh on July 14. Police told The Times yesterday that they had found the skulls and body parts of 23 more infants over the weekend. Some reports now put the body count at as high as 37.

I read just recently, that some Indian doctors lied to families, telling them that fetuses were female, when they were really males. Not concerning this discovery, but just a past habit. Just to make money http://www.metimes.com/storyview.php?StoryID=20070720-050542-8539r.
“Instances came to light of male fetuses dumped in dustbins by doctors who aborted them to make money after lying to parents that the child was a girl.” This whole practice is just repulsive.LikeLike

The complaints about this issue confuse me.
It would appear that if the Indian doctors killed the same number unborn boys there would not be any fuss?
Your and other agruments read: it is ok for the Indians to carry on if they kill as many boys as girls, as this is what we do in the UK via abortions.
One could agrue that the indians are a bit better then brits as at least they save the boys. In the UK via abortion everyone get flushed down the pan…LikeLike
