10m female foetuses aborted in India


Around 10 million female foetuses may have been aborted in India over the past two decades because of ultrasound sex screening and a traditional preference for boys, according to a study published online in The Lancet.

As some gay friends of mine were complaining the other night when over for dinner, these same parents will be complaining when all the boys start having sex with each other because they can't find women!

And, on a slightly grosser note, when I read this headline, I read it as the m as the abbreviation for metres. Ten metre foetuses for gawd's sake!
