Two Things

How to remove yourself from the gene pool:

Child sex ratio a major cause for concern
"The female girl child is still unwanted and their number has fallen to all time low since independence, latest census data released on Thursday revealed. The child sex ratio for 2011 stands at 914 girls down from 927 girls for 1,000 boys in 2001."
[---]
"Analysis of the data shows that the government's campaign to improve the sex ratio in states such as Punjab and Haryana, which were the worst in 2001, had worked to some extent with a slight improvement in these states, but the stigma attached to a girl child appears to have spread.

As many as 27 states show a decline in the numbers of girl children, but were still better than Haryana and Punjab, which continue to have the lowest child sex ratio in the country. Jhajjar in Haryana had the worst child sex ratio for a district according to the census.

“Whatever measures have been put in the last 40 years had no impact..."
Yup. You could say that about a lot of Liberal Party policies here in Canada.

And some disappointment:

Premier Brad Wall thinks leadership debates should feature only himself and the NDP
"The premier doesn't think people want leadership debates to be bogged down with parties that can't "realistically" form government. He believes there should be at least one debate that features only himself and NDP leader Dwain Lingenfelter since their parties are the only ones likely to actually win the vote."
I so wanted to hear from the Yogic Flying Party.

This stupidity, this wretched immorality in pre-natal sex testing and subsequent abortions of girl babies, will bring about it's own societal punishment in a couple of decades. There's going to be social unrest caused by a shortage of women for the men to marry and it'll be a seller's market (women) so to speak, not a buyer's market (men). (That'll be India AND China.) Maybe that'll ironically help bring about the real liberation of women in those two third world countries.
