I don’t know where you’re coming up with this. If the parents decided to abort a baby simply BECAUSE it is a white male that would have also been forbidden under this law. I think the bigger issue is, how do you definitively know what the true reason for the abortion is? Seems like the law could have been skirted pretty easily.

That’s a good point. But let’s be honest here — the whole purpose of this law was to protect female and minority children. That’s because of the cultural and historical factors in play where these groups have been targeted for “disposal.” Clarence Thomas even makes this point in his published filing on the matter.

I think the bigger issue is, how do you definitively know what the true reason for the abortion is? Seems like the law could have been skirted pretty easily. Correct. If the law was in place, people would simply give a different reason for their abortion. So as a practical matter, the law would have very little effect.

But the true effect of laws is much less important to Social Justice Warriors than is signalling your virtue. Whoever came up with this law is clever, because they're trying to place the SJW's in a public moral dilemna. Either they stand in favor or abortion on demand, or they oppose abortions that target female babies. They can't do both.
