Gender Abortion

The Vatican on Monday reaffirmed its opposition to sex changes, gender theory and surrogate parenthood, as well as abortion and euthanasia, four months after supporting blessings for same-sex couples.

Abortion based on sex-determination is a powerful method of perpetuating gender inequalities, the high court said, emphasising the law must have teeth to sternly deal with such situations till attitudinal changes at family level are achieved.

The Maharashtra police have found 19 aborted female foetuses wrapped in blue plastic bags and buried near a sewer in a village in the state's Sangli district, in what they called a "feoticide racket" run by a homeopathy doctor who is on the run.

An Indian-origin doctor, who was filmed in a sting operation in the UK, agreeing to perform an abortion because the foetus was a girl has been allowed to practice medicine again after a review by a medical tribunal.

It's one more case that adds to the rising and shameful statistics of gender violence. In Nashik, a city known for its local vineyards, a woman just two months pregnant, was kicked, punched in her stomach and stomped upon by her husband and his family when they thought she was carrying a girl child.
