They just realized this now??? This has been happening for a long, long time. When will they make the "discovery" that other abortions are based on the sex of the child??? In 2008? Or out of "convenience"?
*whew* Glad I'm perfect.

WHAT IF it was discovered that there was a gene regulatinh homosexuality and abortions were being performed based on its presence in the fetus? Liberals would simply EXPLODE because of their inability to cope with this dilemma.
Sometimes the wrong gender is enough to abort.
I don't buy this. I don't know the political leanings of the Daily Mail, but this just doesn't seem right. I can't imagine any woman 20 weeks pregnant opting for an abortion only because the child has a club foot or cleft pallate. There is something missing here. I just can't imagine any woman doing this for something relatively trivial about the baby's health.
Remember? This is happening in a country that prides itself on socialized medicine.
It is just plane dollars and cents (pounds and cents). What does it cost to abort a fetus? What does it cost to correct a club foot or a cleft pallet, web fingers, dyslexia?
You are a hospital administrator in Britain and you are being pressured to keep costs down. Knowing that every birth defect that leaves the womb will incur ongoing costs for long term correction therapy and surgeries, you make a quiet policy to encourage parents to scrub those little future vagrants out of the womb.
With that and euthanasia; along with state(encouraged) assisted suicide, we will be able to make this socialized medicine thing work.

"As early as 1914 Margaret Sanger was promoting abortion, not for white middle-class women, but against 'inferior races' — black people, poor people, Slavs, Latins, and Hebrews were 'human weeds.'"
