Abortion based on race, gender labeled 'barbaric'

Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona has introduced the "Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act." If passed, the bill would ban race- or gender-selection abortions.

Attorney Steven Aden of the Alliance Defense Fund tells OneNewsNow his organization helped write the bill that is being referred to as "PreNDA."

"Sex-selection and racially-motivated abortion is an immense problem in America and internationally," the attorney explains, "and Congressman Franks' bill would prohibit the performance of such abortions, the funding of them, or promoting them."

One of the reasons for an increase in such abortions in America is related to immigration, says Aden.

"The problem of sex-selection abortion in the United states is so prevalent that it is documented that women come from other countries to America to have their babies aborted because [the unborn children] are girls [and] because the countries where they come from -- places like India and the U.K. -- have laws against this barbaric practice," Aden explains.

The National Academy of Sciences, United Nations, and a Harvard researcher confirm the problem in the U.S.

While I'm certainly sympathetic with any attempt to prevent even one abortion, I have problems with legislation that only bans "politically incorrect" abortions. It's similar to the problems I have with so-called "hate crime" legislation. It seems to send the message that politically incorrect abortions and politically incorrect crimes are somehow worse than other types of similar atrocities. It also seems to encourage government thought police, something I strongly oppose.

It’s an exposure of hypocrisy. As such I think it’s a good proposal.

WTF??? There's been a worldwide epidemic of white women aborting their black fetuses and black women aborting their white fetuses, and I haven't heard about it?

What planet are these nutjobs on? Must be the same planet Alan Keyes was on when he explained with a perfectly straight face (during his joke of a Senate campaign which launched one Barack Obama to national prominence) that the reason gays shouldn't be allowed to adopt children is because the children wouldn't know who their biological parents were, and could thus end up inadvertently committing incest.

LOL NARAL ran into a speed bump when people decided to give donations to help destroy only Black babies but, Isn’t that exactly what the Liberal Slippery Slope is all about?

Liberals justify their are Anti-Humanist positions voting for population controls based on age, race and sex. Liberals are the 21st Century Slave Masters and now they dominate our Government, nothing good can come of this.

Well fortunately I think it’s safe to say that we’re not being *ruled* by Congressman Trent Franks, ADA Attorney Steven Aden, or Self-Appointed-Something-or-Other Alan Keyes, but it is worrisome that they seem to be able to command significant attention.

Have you heard about the millions of unborn girls aborted in India and China, something we're now going to be supporting with our tax dollars, or has that also escaped your attention?

That was my reaction. Gender-based abortions are too commonplace but I've never heard the result of a sonogram as, "Mrs. Upton-Smythe, you're having a Negro child."

Cue Claude Rains to tell some druggie mom that he is shocked -- SHOCKED!! -- that she's having a crack baby!

And how is that “racially motivated abortion”?

How about the extreme unfairness, injustices and prejudice against people based on age ... like in months?

Yhis will never fly. The dems want any abortion any time for any reason.

Is a "race-selection abortion" when an Asian couple discovers they will be giving birth to a Hispanic baby?

I’m with you. Murdering one innocent little baby is no more barbaric than murdering any other. Abortion is something which has no place in civilized society.

I have to admit that I would love to watch the feminazis go into contortions trying to justify the “absolute right” of a woman to choose abortion for any reason whatsoever yet aborting baby girls because there girls is somehow wrong.

Kinda like how sexual harrasment is unforgivable to them unless the perpetrator is a liberal, pro-abortion Democratic politician.

This is checkmate in the abortion game.

It is about time Republicans got smart on this issue.

Exactly.

But - no one can dictate what a woman does with her own body, right? Isn’t that what the right to choose is all about? It’s getting very confusing. How are the pro-choice advocates going to know which side they’re supposed to support? :)
