W omen are susceptible to molestation, harassment, and rape, at work or otherwise often by strangers; the unknown people try to take advantage of the situation and attack women's dignity, confidence, independence and self-esteem. However the plight of the unborn girl is no less who is being attacked and killed at the place that is considered to be the safest. A female in the womb is as vulnerable as the women outside. The only difference is that those who would have given life to her – her parents exterminate her. She is the most unfortunate of the women community who is not even given a chance to open her eyes in the beautiful world and to breathe in the open air. She is punished for a crime that she is not responsible for…of coming into being…of not being a male. She is killed at the moment when she is just a biological being, a creation of nature.

The figure of love, nurture, security and care has become so wicked and cruel that she can kill her own child.
Human beings are the superiors of all species. Animals have almost similar drives and emotions, they eat, they drink, they crave for physical pleasure, above all they also show love for their young ones.

When their education, resources and humanity are at stake what good such diminutive rewards would do.
Female infanticide, fetus killing, abortions and all such shameful acts done for want of sons are worse than assassinations and terrorist nasa home and city attacks that are carried out of frustration of a group of people against the people in power or against those with differences in ideology.
