NEW DELHI (AP) - Indian women continue to face pressure to produce a male child, according to a government survey released Wednesday.
Of female respondents who identified themselves as married with two living children, nearly 90 percent say they don't want more children if they have at least one son, but that number falls to about 62 percent if the women have two girls, according to the National Family Health Survey.
In some states, such as underdeveloped Bihar, 80 percent of women with two daughters and no sons said they wanted to have another child, the survey said.
