Religion News above: Sex selective abortion
Sat Jun 2, 2012 12:23pm
71.31.89.146

...appears to be the latest scam of the fanatical, anti-choice Right to try to smear Dems, libs, and others who defend women's right to choose abortion. And these people get nuttier and more extreme day-by-day, to judge by the rhetoric in the article:

"Yes, abortions based upon sex-selection is "lethal discrimination", much as are murders of human beings outside the womb based upon race, but the initial and paramount "discrimination" is the "bigotry" against life itself. Whether its post-Trayvon Martin black mobs attacking white folks because they are white (like George "white-Hispanic" Zimmerman?) or a pregnant "mother" preferring to make payments for the BMW instead of Pampers, the choice to kill is what matters, not the particular reason for the "choice"."

1. How many abortions in THIS country are sex-selective? I'd guess relatively few.

2. How is abortion of a fetus anything like murder of an adult?

3. How is deciding not to carry a pregnancy to term "bigotry against life?"

4. What does this have to do with the Trayvon Martin case? What about the obvious bigotry displayed in your comment concerning "black mobs attacking whites?"

5. What kind of insane characterization of abortion is it to talk about "BMW payments v. Pampers?"

ALL that these nuts seem to have is emotionalistic, extreme language and IMO, this is what helps lead to murderous and violent attacks on doctors, workers, and clinics. These anti-choice types are little different IMO from reviled groups such as the Taliban.

  • Is it moral for parents to abort based on sex? — Ken C, Sun Jun 3 12:10am
    I think it's immoral for parents to abort their babies just because they are girls. In some countries like India and China they are having problems due to a shortage of women and too many men. Some... more
    • Greenman is right, it's cultural. — Timothy, Sun Jun 3 10:23pm
      China was aborting females because the govt would only allow one child per couple. And the culture was that a son helped his parents in their old age. Daughters helped their husbands parents rather... more
    • Goes back to whether abortion's moral — greenman, Sun Jun 3 4:23pm
      If it's moral, the sex of the fetus makes no difference. If it's immoral, the sex of the fetus makes no difference. I guess it's the middle ground we have to look at. China and India will suffer... more
  • I see nothing wrong with it, they need to get with the times — BOSS, Sat Jun 2 10:07pm
    I see nothing wrong with the "late, late" abortions either. I believe it is the right of the parent, that they can decide to abort their child up to the age of about 3-4 years old. hey if the kid... more
    • It's really cultural — greenman, Sun Jun 3 4:25pm
      Greeks and Romans (and probably others) thought it was OK to expose (i.e.,, leave out in the wilderness to die) any child who was inferior...and those were actual chidren born to a mother. Were they... more
  • reality check — Trish, Sat Jun 2 2:25pm
    they are looking for ANY inroad to banning abortion altogether without realizing how damaging that would be globally, locally and personally. It is a crime against personal rights to use this type of ... more
    • Agreed, Trish — greenman, Sat Jun 2 5:00pm
      Some twisted minds out there working on this agenda. Nothing more dangerous than someone bent on "saving" someone.
