This is a big problem in China. There are far fewer women than there are men because of sex-selective abortions. My question is, how could you even enforce that? And, if abortion is legal, then the reason, just like the end decision, has to be the mother’s choice, logically.
I am curious about which sex most people would choose to have. If it’s girls that would be most aborted, would refusal to pass this bill constitute a war on women from the Democrats?
guess you didn’t read the article…
“”The bill includes a provision that would allow a women’s husband or parents, by merely alleging that an abortion is because of gender, to seek injunctive relief to prevent the doctor from performing abortion procedures, sending an incredibly private and personal decision into the courts,” Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.) added Thursday.” i don’t support that in the slightest. if you want to ban sex-selective abortion, do it in a way that doesn’t infringe upon the rights of women who aren’t having abortions for that purpose.
@flapper_femme_fatale - I would like abortion banned period. I don’t think we, as a country, should be taking children’s RIGHT to life away.
I have a Korean friend who had four abortions because her husband wanted a son. (They already had two daughters.)
@justfinethanku - And at least half of those babies being killed are girls.

I’m pro-choice and all, but wtf.
