I Am Not Against Female Fetecide

 Yes, I am not.

Shame on you!

OK! Well, what about you? Are you against female feticide?

Off course, yes! It’s a most heinous crime—killing innocent girls in the womb. How heartless!

Oh, you think it’s a crime.

Yes, it is murder. The offenders should be punished severely. Only then will it teach others a proper lesson. . . What about you? Why are you not against female feticide?

Before I tell my answer, can I ask you a question?

Go ahead.

If you think female feticide is murder, what about killing a male child in the womb?

Umm. . . Yeah, that too is murder.

So, why not protest against abortion? Why show compassion for one and no mercy for another? Why not also protest against the animals being butchered in the slaughterhouses? Don’t you think they too have a right to life?

 Selective compassion is no better than herd mentality of animals, who too show compassion but only to those who are like them. Real compassion is spiritual, at the level of soul. To love the soul and to try our best to love and uplift it is real spirituality.

I am not against female fetecide alone. I am agianst all organised killing.

Please think.

It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunti, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father. Lord Krishna in Bhagvad Gita 14.4
