“Since the bill wouldn’t have survived Obama’s veto it needs to be slow-rolled until 2013 when Obama is replaced by Romney who at least says he’s against abortion.”

Nobody should want this law passed; it is designed to stop the murder of female children rather than all children. It is a bad bill.

We have gotten to this point incrementally. We are only going to get back incrementally. Besides, once we establish that aborting a baby based on it's gender is called "sexism" that prompts many more questions. What is it called when we abort many more babies of one race than another race? Maybe "racism"? What is it called if we abort babies based on their potential health issues? Maybe "health discrimination"? What is it called when we abort babies based on their family's wealth? Maybe "class discrimination"? What is it called when we abort a baby based on who it's genetic father was?

This line of thinking takes the focus off of the the mother and her "rights" and balances them against the God given rights of the baby.

Thank you so very much for your insight, kearnyirish2!

FWIW, I had the same reaction to this bill.
