Save the Girls, Stop Female Foeticide and Infanticide.

In our society there are numbers of diseases, and the killing of the female embryo is one of the most common diseases..
It is nothing but a crime of Murder!

In a BBC documentary film titled “Let her die” shown in the programme “Assignments”, the statistics of female infanticide was given by Emetic Buchanan. It has to be a Britisher who came all the way from Britain to give us the statistics and make a documentary film in a country which has the maximum rate of female infanticide in the world.
According to the statistics compiled by them, everyday more than 3,000 foetuses are being aborted in India on being identified that they are female. If you multiply this figure with the number of days in a year (365 days) we understand that more than one million female foetuses are aborted every year in India. It is practised maximum in the state of Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan.

There are big bill boards and advertisements saying “Invest Rs.500/- and save Rs.500,000, signifying that you do tests like Amino sentesis or ultra sonography which cost about Rs.500/- and on identifying the gender of the foetus if it is a girl you can always abort her and thus save Rs.5,00,000/- which is usually spent in the upbringing of a girl and giving dowry in her marriage!

According to a report of the Tamil Nadu Government Hospital, out of every 10 female children born, 4 are put to death.

Now let us have a look what the Holy Scriptures say about this:

"A slayer of an embryo is like the slayer of a priest." [Krishna Yajur Veda 6.5.10]
The Atharva Veda (6.113.2) lists the fetus slayer, brunaghni, among the greatest of sinners.
The Kaushitaki Upanishad (3.1) counts abortion among such heinous sins as killing one's parents.
According to Parashara smriti (4.20) the sin accrued by an abortion is twice greater than sin committed by killing a brahmana. There is no atonement for this sin.

"And when one of them is informed of (the birth of) a baby girl, his face becomes dark, and he suppresses grief. He hides himself from the people because of the ill of which he has been informed. Should he keep it in humiliation or bury it in the ground? Unquestionably, evil is what they decide." [Al-Qur'an 16:58-59]

“When the female (infant), buried alive, is questioned, for what crime she was killed.” [Al-Qur'an 81:8-9]

In pre-Islamic Arabia killing of female infants was very common and very often the moment a female was born she was buried alive. However, after the spread of Islam in Arabia, Al hamdulillah, this evil practice has been discontinued for the last 1,400 years.

It is also mentioned in Qur'an:
“Kill not your children on a plea of want. We provide sustenance for you and for them. Come not near shameful deeds, whether open or secret. Take not life which Allah has made sacred.” [Al-Qur'an 6:151]

A similar guidance is repeated as:
“Kill not your children for fear of want; We shall provide sustenance for them as well as for you. Verily the killing of them is a great sin.” [Al-Qur'an 17:31]

"Losers are those who killed their children foolishly, due to their lack of knowledge, and prohibited what God has provided for them, and followed innovations attributed to God. They have gone astray, they are not guided." [Al-Qur'an 6:140]
