Default Infanticide in PNG!

Check out this story PNG women 'killing male babies' - World - BrisbaneTimes - brisbanetimes.com.au

I guess the hand the rocks the cradle really does rule the world, but this story is very sad and I think as PNG is a close neighbour that we have a responsibility to intervene in cases like this.

It is sad, but on the plus side a surplus of women is rarely a bad thing - even if it does take a generation for that to eventuate.
