Anti-abortion seminar in Coimbatore

Coimbatore, Oct 16 (ANI): A German organization conducted a seminar under its anti-abortion campaign in Coimbatore. The organization ‘Life for All’ aims to spread anti-abortion awareness among the Indian citizens and advocate against the practice of abortion and its legality. The chairman of Life for All, Johana Simon, said people consider the fetus inside the womb to be a mere tissue and abortion actually amounts to murdering a life. India has unequal child sex ratios that rights campaigners describe as alarming. Due mainly to selective abortions of female fetuses, the number of girls under six years old has fallen for the past 50 years. The 2011 census recorded 919 girls to every 1,000 boys, compared to 976 in 1961. Oct 16, 2014
