BEAUTIFULLY written.......absolutely 'lump-in-the-throat' writing.......

If this is about the issue of abortion, then I'm neutral and have no point to make, BUT, if its about female foeticide, allow me to make a point.

As much as I abhor the practice, I have a rather negative plan in mind - ALLOW the killing of the female foetus.  My explanation is too long so I'd request you to have a read on my blog posted a few months ago, the name is "KILL THE GIRLS" - but please, swallow that bile welling in your throat and peruse:

I'd certainly love to know your take.

OS!
That is heart wrenching!
We know it happens, but you made it so painful telling it from the babies POV!
Beautiful, traumatic, heart breaking, warm, tender....I am running out of adjectives.
The bangles, the anklets, the cootchie coos....they make it so poignant and real!
