thanks heaven for little girls


reading the paper today i came across an article that claimed that several local newspapers geared towards the Punjabi population were posting ads for ultrasound clinics that are promoting the abortion of girls. the idea that someone would do this simply flummoxes me. the world is filled with incredible Punjabi women who have made enormous contributions. one can't imagine the loss of not having had these people in our world. here are some of the women who have made a significant difference and for who's existence we should be forever grateful.

Dr Parminder Bhachu, Artist Pritham Chakravarthy,

Dr Ruby Dhalla, Dr Nina Grewal,

Director/Writer/Producer Mira Nair,...


... the list could go on, and on, and on... feel free to add to it...

moot or hooey?
apparently selective sex gender abortion and infanticide are responsible for over 60 million deaths or disappearances of female babies. repercussions ranging from a shortage of brides, to an increase in female sex slavery
