From the U.N. Study: "Preference for boys leads to criminal infanticide
of girls; in India culture, poverty and ignorance lead to the smothering
or poisoning of baby girls. Selective abortion according to sex occurs
in various countries." "Early Islam forbade female infanticide and
this
principle must be maintained and pursued by states today to combat all
forms of discrimination against women."
