Perhaps now, but for most of the history of legalized abortion, a reliable determination of the sex only came if you carried on to the delivery room. So not to quibble, but your "more than 20 million" premise doesn't work out.
Perhaps now, but for most of the history of legalized abortion, a reliable determination of the sex only came if you carried on to the delivery room.
It would only strengthen your arguments and your admirable steadfast attention to the scourge of abortion if you had the courage to educate yourself regardless the consequences that might attend where your blind faith in The Party is concerned.
The first successful determination of sex via amniotic fluid sampling was done in the mid-1950s. By 1970 -- well before Roe -- medical journals were advocating it as a standard test of sorts for pre-determination of all manner of genetic defects as well as sex.
Although it was the work of the eugencists at the March of Dimes (particularly once "to be aborted" women were opened up as a steady source of ready human experimentation) which galvanized the test into an almost "standard" procedure, indeed amnio's been around far LONGER than abortion.
Dummy up, guy.
And do "look quick" at the GOP platform. If Mz. Barbara "Abortions in the First Trimester Only" Bush has her way, the plank will be ripped up one day soon ... as she's been advocating since her son's 2000 campaign.
