The missing 13 million girls of India
This is odd, isn't it? That The Lancet Global Health published an article which claimed that “13.5 million female births were missing during the three decades of observation (1987–2016), on the basis of a natural sex ratio of 950 girls per 1000 boys”. And you won't find anything in the media about it. What's going on in news rooms? Distracted by Covid? Bedazzled by Biden? Bored with this gendercide stuff? What's your explanation?
