Gendercide

People think that gendercide only happens in China, but it happens here, too. A girl walked into our clinic for a sonogram and if the 19 week old baby wasn't a girl she would abort.

So Linda (the director of the pregnancy centre) basically told the baby to keep the legs shut, so it could live and the baby did. Then she asked her if the mother wanted to hold the baby's hand. And she wanted to, so they said a quick prayer. And after the prayer the mother placed the hand on her stomach and you could see the baby raise his hand up on the sonogram.

She was there with a friend who was 31 weeks pregnant with a boy. I really hope that she will keep her baby so they will grow up together. She's going to come back for more counseling.
