Okay kiddo, imagine you have a little sister who was just born. But some people in our community think that having a daughter is not good because they believe that boys are more important. So they might hurt your little sister or even kill her just because she was born a girl. Isn't that scary and wrong?
But don't worry, the government made a special law called the Female Infanticide Prevention Act in the year 1870. This law says that no one can hurt or kill a baby girl just because of her gender. The law also makes it illegal for anyone to find out the sex of the baby before it's born and use that information to hurt or kill the baby if it's a girl.
This law is very important because it helps protect baby girls from being hurt or killed just because of their gender. It's not fair for someone to decide that a girl is not good enough just because she wasn't born a boy. All babies, girls or boys, are precious and deserve to be loved and protected.
