The evidence is clear. Females are being aborted here in the US for the sole reason of being female. Doctors, economists, and human rights organizations have all indicated it is happening right here. A practice an overwhelming 86 percent of Americans believe should be outlawed. So that means that even the majority of pro-choice people believe it should be outlawed.
Pro-lifers have decried the legalization of abortion because it cheapens life, and leads to abhorrent practices like sex-selective abortions.
It isn't a slippery slope fallacy if it is really happening.
And it is.
CGS*:*Republican Bill Exploits Concerns about Sexism and Racism to Undermine Abortion Rights
House Republicans held a hearing last week to promote their latest effort to undermine reproductive rights, the cynically named Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA).
The bill, which would prohibit doctors from performing abortions based on the sex or race of the fetus, is sponsored by Representative Trent Franks of Arizona, where a similar bill became law earlier this year. Franks openly acknowledges that PRENDA is part of a broader push to overturn abortion rights. People will say I have a greater agenda and they are right, he told The Daily Caller.
Franks explains his sponsorship of the bill by citing statistics showing that African-American women account for a disproportionately high number of the abortions in America. As Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank points out, Franks established his credentials as a civil rights leader last year when [he] argued that, because of high abortion rates in black communities, African Americans were better off under slavery.

ryIf its still in the womb, many liberals can't see an issue.
No, many on the right simply fail to understand that a womb belongs to someone.

I don't disagree with you.
Unfortunately, I don't think the Republicans really care to change things.

Yuppers.I saw that. I can't believe that posters like Inthemiddle can't believe what we post when we link to non political websites.
Were you not talking about the OP link?
I stand corrected and offer my apologies. TD did in fact claim it was non-political.
Bullshit, it most definitely is political and it is, I have to repeat myself, idiotic to claim otherwise.

If the GOP actually wanted th change things, they would have done so in the years when they had the house, senate, presidency, and 7/9 SCOUTUS appointees.

Exactly, and that was what I was attempting to say. They talk the talk, but won't walk the walk.
Same goes with shrinking the size of the government. They lament about Obama's spending, but when the shoe is on the other foot... nothing changes.

How in hell is CGS political? Have you read the link I provided in the OP? And the Toronto Star is a very liberal paper.
We talk honestly about shit up here. And the Doctor who recommended the delay is in no way going against abortion rights for women whatsoever. He just wants to prevent female fetacide.

I call bullshit on that.
I have blue eyes my wife had green eyes.
So tell me what color eyes do my children have?
I'd need to actually see your eye color and hers, and would need info about your parents and ancestries to be able to give a more accurate prediction. But just going on that alone, I'm going to say most likely blue, possibly hazel. Green and even grey are possible, but less likely. Like I said, it's not as simple as two sentences.
So do you claim the inteview never took place?

You call the Partial Birth Abortion Ban Act and Gonzales v. Carhart nothing? It took years from enactment to a Supreme Court ruling upholding it.

Okay, my turn.....
If one-eyed, one-horned, flying, purple people eaters invade the country.....
Well, you get the picture. How about we now talk about something that's actually going on in this country, instead of speculating about speculation, and crying that we need to set public policy based on the same....
If it's happening in Canada it's happening in the US.
Did you not see my posts about this where a very well known and respected physician here has called for a delay in the notification of gender to prevent female fetacide?
That article that I linked to also points out that many young wives who already have one or two daughters are now being forced to abort based on gender by husbands who want a son or parents or in laws who want a grandson.
Do you really believe we are isolated from this?
So you want to deny parentss the right to know the sex of their kid so you can control the outcome.
Um who the fuck do you think you or this doctor. I was just at an ultrasound yesterday and had you pulled this sbit, i would have decked you.
Did you look at the post, dipshit? Take your hands off your eyes and go back and look.
The physician, who practices in the Bay Area, wanted to find out why so many immigrant Indian women in the United States were so eager to find out the sex of their unborn children, and why so many of them choose abortion when they found out they were carrying a girl.
What she discovered over the course of 65 interviews conducted over several years profoundly shocked her. Fully 89 percent of the women carrying girls opted for an abortion, and nearly half had previously aborted girls.
Puris report, published in Social Science and Medicine this last April, makes for grim reading. Women told Puri of their guilt over their sex-selection abortions, how they felt that they were unable to save their daughters. Even the women who turned out to be carrying boys this time around could not shake their remorse over having earlier aborted daughters in this deadly game of reproductive roulette.
They also made clear that they were not free actors when it came to reproductive choice. Many, when it was learned that they were carrying girls, became the victims of family violence. Some in an effort to make them miscarry had been slapped and shoved around by angry husbands and in-laws, or even kicked in the stomach. Others were denied food, water, and rest in order to coerce them into aborting their unwanted girl babies.
