...why do we deny them the right to life? (Why, what I mean is, do we kill them before they're born?)
60 Million Girls Missing in Asia
This year, the United States sponsored a resolution at the U.N.’s Commission on the Status of Women that called for eliminating infanticide and gender selection. The resolution was withdrawn due to opposition from several countries, including China and India; however, the issue of prenatal sex selection was included in the final conference document.
Gender-testing kits for abortion
TORONTO -- Mail-order blood-testing kits that can determine the sex of a fetus early in pregnancy may be used for more than getting a jumpstart on deciding whether to paint the nursery pink or blue, says a doctors group. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada says the results of the early tests could be used by parents to decide whether to continue the pregnancy or abort the fetus solely based on its gender.
Of course, this should be no surprise.
Not when one recalls that the foundress of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, and her followers, were (and maybe still are) hell-bent on eliminating "blacks, immigrants, indigents," and, of course, the "socially inadequate."
To be fair...
Some—or, make that one—feminist group has come out against gender-testing. From Women's eNews we get the cheer:
Canadian obstetricians strongly condemned the use of gender testing kits for selective abortions, the CBC reported June 21. The Society of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Canada says early tests could be used by parents to decide whether to maintain the pregnancy or abort the fetus based on its gender, calling the practice unhealthy, discriminatory and unethical. Some prenatal tests can determine the sex of a fetus as early as five weeks.
Still, that's not nearly enough.
When are we just going to come out and admit it? Abortion (besides, among other things, being the promiscuous man's best friend) is the tool that allows too many people to be "pro-woman, pro-minority, pro-disabled," etc.
