worst holocaust ever committed by far and no excuse for it.
there will be a reckoning.
Last week I went shopping for a layette for my daughter who is expecting her first child in 2 weeks. Even though she has had scans, she told the technician she didn't want to know the gender of the child she is carrying until it is born.
Many others, however, don't feel that way. I had a tough time finding layette items in gender-neutral colors like yellow and white. It is almost all blue or pink now. It seems as though every expectant mother knows the child's gender in advance and chooses the "appropriate" color.
20 years ago the images were too lo-res. I always asked the techs but they said the images weren't clear enough. Amniocentesis could accurately determine gender but it was not a common procedure.
BTW does anyone know the origin of the custom of dressing baby boys in blue and baby girls in pink? It seems to be a modern innovation. In previous centuries all infants were all swaddled in white.

The reality is that most abortions happen before ultrasounds are done. Ru-486 is becoming more popular and abortions being done sooner and sooner. Before 8 weeks even if an ultrasound is ordered nothing can be seen on it except possibly the sac. Most abortions don't happen late term or even in second trimester. The women having abortions in thrid trimester have had ultrasounds and probably have a doctor pointing out all the problems with fetus on ultrasound. Seems to me an ultrasound would have the opposite effect, nothing can be seen early on or defects can be seen late term pushing a frightened woman to choose abortion.
Oh, definitely! They're not allowed to let the woman see the screen at abortion clinics... same with the heart beat. They know that if the mother heard it, she would change her mind right away.
When my daughter got pregnant at 18, our whole family had mixed and conflicted feelings. Inviting everyone to come to the ultrasound was the best thing I could have done. Everyone fell in love with Jacob the minute they saw him moving around. It was a wonderful experience for our family. name withheld, Arlington VA
