Chilling Undercover Video Sheds Light on Growing Trend
AUSTIN, May 29 – Today, Live Action released a new undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, TX encouraging a woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled “Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America,” exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.
“I see that you’re saying that you want to terminate if it’s a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?” a counselor named “Rebecca” offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender. “The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks,” explains Rebecca, “and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it’s a boy or a girl.” Doctors agree that the later in term a doctor performs an abortion, the greater the risk of complications.
The Planned Parenthood staffer suggests that the woman get on Medicaid in order to pay for an ultrasound to determine the gender of her baby, even though she plans to use the knowledge for an elective abortion. She also tells the woman to “just continue and try again” for the desired gender after aborting a girl, and adds, “Good luck, and I hope that you do get your boy.”
“The search-and-destroy targeting of baby girls through prenatal testing and abortion is a pandemic that is spreading across the globe,” notes Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action. “Research proves that sex-selective abortion has now come to America. The abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, is a willing participant.”
Six studies in the past four years indicate that there are thousands of “missing girls” in the U.S., many from sex-selective abortion. The U.K., India, Australia, and other countries ban sex-selective abortion, but the U.S., save for three states, does not. On Wednesday, Congress will debate the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act (PRENDA), which would ban sex-selective abortions nationally.
“Planned Parenthood and their ruthless abortion-first mentality is the real ‘war on women’,” says Rose. “Sex-selective abortion is gender discrimination with lethal consequences for little girls.”

I often think that same thing about our Judeo-Christian framework. There are many things that we do not know about some non-Christian cultures which are sometimes lost is the lure of the exotic. India has a big problem with murder of wives who cannot pay their dowry. They are doused in kerosene and set on fire and this is chalked up to a simple kitchen fire. Callous. Then remember the old practice of forcing the widow to throw herself on her husband’s funeral pyre.
Now we have honor killings (and Muslim polygamy) in the US; they had a fire a few years back in NYC in which various children & women died, and it turned out it was like a 3 family house in which one Muslim West African had different wives (with their respective broods) living in each apartment.
“There is strength in diversity”
And each wife gets welfare just as they do in Great Britain.
That’s right, and it goes on for generations.
This is like kill own infant before it see world!! One should not discriminate there own beings.
I know a lot about moms who long for one gender or another, usually because they have so many of the one gender. Rarely do they want the non-longed for gendered baby to die.
This is a false controversy in America. It really doesn’t happen very often. Many, many more abortions are for “inconvenient” pregnancies.
Remember that abortion is legal, so what difference does it make what the mother uses as her “reason” to kill her baby? Wrong gender, the dad is abusive, she doesn’t like the dad, she doesn’t want to tell anyone she got pregnant, she was on drugs, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE, she is fully allowed to kill her baby.
And there are as many Americans who want girls as want boys. It’s not like India or china here.
