Pre-natal sex determination and female foeticide is more prevalent in the urban, educated and prosperous classes, Minister for Women and Child Development Renuka Chowdhary said on Wednesday.
“Female foeticide is an extreme manifestation of violence against women. Female fetuses are selectively aborted after pre-natal sex determination, thus avoiding the birth of girls. As a result of selective abortion, about 10 lakh girls are missing from the Indian Population,” she said at a session held as part of week-long celebration to mark International Women’s Day on March 8.
The easy accessibility to ultra sound technology which has percolated even to the rural areas and increase in mobile van delivering services has made sex selective determination and foeticide more common, she said.
The figures released show that the high incidence of female foeticide is reflected in the fall in child sex ratio (0-6) years in India which has declined drastically from 945 in 1991 to 927 per 1000 males in 2001.

China has been having issues with lack of females due to the abortion of female fetuses. But then again does China or India need anymore people anyways?
