Abortion is not legally considered foeticide in most countries. Moreover, the sources used are unrelated to the topic of abortion. --92slim (talk) 22:47, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

  • Keep Speedy keep - nom is POV pushing. Foeticide/feticide is the act of killing a fetus. Whether or not abortion is legally considered foeticide is not relevant. This topic is highly notable and has been widely covered; India's Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 made it illegal to disclose a fetus' gender for no other reason except to try to prevent people from having abortions (which are otherwise legal) because scans indicate child is female. Secondly, abortion up to 20 weeks is legal; abortion afterwards is not. I saw a documentary on this topic and they discussed later abortions and women causing themselves to go into premature labor as a way to abort. So even if you want to argue abortion is not illegal, post 20-week abortions are, and would be considered feticide and punishable as such. Мандичка 😜 00:57, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
The issue of "foeticide" is unrelated to sex-selective abortion. The legality of abortion is completely irrelevant. --92slim (talk) 01:15, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
I agree the legality of abortion is completely irrelevant, so I don't know why you brought it up. Мандичка 😜 01:22, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Because it is unrelated to foeticide. Please read the argument carefully. For example, the article starts with "Female foeticide is the act of aborting a foetus because it is female." That is completely wrong, legally speaking. Foeticide and abortion are definitely not the same thing. --92slim (talk) 01:42, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
You mean the argument in which you claimed "Abortion is not legally considered foeticide in most countries" but supplied no documentation/references to support this applies to India, nor any real point? Applause for that argument. If you have an issue with that first sentence then bring it up on the talk page or ask for additional citations. It's not a valid reason to propose deletion of the entire article. Мандичка 😜 01:45, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
