When I worked at a major hospital that had a large OB/GYN department a number of the OBs there told me that they refused to tell a woman the gender of her child (if determined by ultrasound) in order to prevent sex selection abortions.

Well I thought liberals were pro-choice. That a woman had the right to an abortion no matter what her reason. Whether it be financial, or because she wanted to finish college, or because she didn't want to ruin her figure, or because she didn't want a girl. I thought we couldn't question her motive. Sex selection sounds like they're just expanding the whole choice thing. Liberals should be proud!

I never wanted to know the genders of my children beforehand (as a Christian I can’t commit murder anyway); in the US (as in India) you would find out at the doctor’s office, not the hospital.

I oppose this law because I oppose abortion in all forms, not just the abortion of female children. There is no reason we should extend the preferential treatment already given for college admissions, hiring, and promotions to the womb - just for women.
