@Aethelflaed Under the tag of ”infanticide”, was this, it might have gotten there because a passage in the article mentioned infanticide in concert with abortion practices in India. I know the difference, but it was curious that they should try to mention both in the same breath; as I suspect other articles, I have not read, attempt. I would say it is a stab at bamboozling the masses. Infanticide carries the air of being more nefarious, and sinister making the same act worse because of the way it is handled. Be it they were terminating unborn male babies, or unborn female babies, the reason they did it is not much different than in the West, when you strip it to the bone. To try to vilify one over, or more than the other is a bait and switch, or subterfuge.
@Boogabooga1 BBC News is full of heartbreaking personal stories of womens injustice in Afghanistan & India. The stories may be true but they are biased, If Aghanistan had a powerful media like the BBC Im sure we would be hearing all about the abuses in our own lower class houses. Its a world of Hypocracy. I believe this one article I read came from the BBC, but what 1st had me looking was American media, who might have got their lead from the BBC, ummm. It is a bait and switch, like when one is considered a freedom fighter or a terrorist depends on which interest you support, the one in power or the one who wants to take them down. If the 99 took up arms and tried to do a Libya-style ”American Winter” here, they would be put down as criminals and terrorist, the same as Bashar Assad has done to those in Syria who rails up against the establishment.
