YAVATMAL, India, August 7, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A crowd found the body of an abandoned newborn baby girl when they saw dogs chewing her body in the bushes outside a hospital, according to a report from New Delhi Television.
NDTV has released video footage of members of the political movement Shiv Sena swaddling the torn remains of the corpse before they carried her tiny remains inside Yavatamal Medical College.
Dr. Kishore Ingole, who works at the facility, insisted, “This is not the baby that came from our hospital,” although he said the campus was so large someone could have given birth unobserved.
On the same day another baby girl had been left to die less than four miles away. She is now being treated inside the hospital.
Apparently, both babies had been left in the bushes to die of exposure – not an uncommon occurrence in the populous subcontinent, which has a pronounced cultural preference for boys.
The British medical journal The Lancet estimates as many as 12 million sex-selective abortions have been performed in India over the last 30 years.
The problem of abandoned babies is far from limited to India. On Tuesday, Dallas detectives hurried to the scene when a dead baby's body was found inside an emergency room restroom of Baylor Medical Center.
