San Francisco Feminism: Go Ahead, Abort Girls

Supervisor David Chiu wants San Francisco to become the first American city to oppose any ban on sex-selective abortions. It apparently has not occurred to him why no other city has chosen to do so.

Journalist Mara Hvistendahl, author of "Unnatural Selection: Choosing Boys Over Girls, and the Consequences of a World Full of Men," estimates that sex-selective abortions have "claimed over 160 million potential women and girls -- in Asia alone." Thus, it is rather disturbing to watch one of the most liberal politicians in liberal San Francisco grandstand in defense of a practice that devalues -- destroys, actually -- girls.

In other communities, people think it is immoral for a woman to abort a fetus because of her -- or his -- gender. You can support the right to abortion yet still cringe at the thought that some women choose to abort a girl because they want a boy.

Somehow self-styled feminists have twisted support for the right to have an abortion such that it trumps women's very right to exist. Chiu's bill has four female co-authors -- Supervisors Jane Kim, Katy Tang, London Breed and Malia Cohen. Mayor Ed Lee is supposed to be the adult in City Hall. According to his office, he expects to sign the measure. Sometimes San Francisco can be so liberal that it's illiberal.

Personally I strongly believe that anybody that supports abortion in any way shape or form is choosing a eternity separated from God.

But that`s just me

A similar sort of enterprise was crushed by a bunch of rag-tag Christians who
swore to put and end to it.

the left is so bipolar on abortion.

they scream at us it isn’t a person.

the discussion of sex of the nonperson by a liberal who demands others regard it as a nonperson, is ridiculous.

gender only applies if it’s a person. that’s how hypocritically nuts they are.

There are two sacred legs to liberalism, the promotion of abortion and homosexuality,

Abortion is not, and never has been, about choice -- it's about total power of the state.
