Swedish health authorities have ruled that gender-based abortion is not illegal according to current law and can not therefore be stopped, according to a report by Sveriges Television.
Swedish surgeon forgets swabs in sewn up mum (10 May 09) Swedish gays made to wait for church wedding (3 May 09) May Day nuptials for same-sex couples (2 May 09) The Local reported in February that a woman from Eskilstuna in southern Sweden had twice had abortions after finding out the gender of the child.
The woman, who already had two daughters, requested an amniocentesis in order to allay concerns about possible chromosome abnormalities. At the same time, she also asked to know the foetus's gender.
Doctors at Mälaren Hospital expressed concern and asked Swedens National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) to draw up guidelines on how to handle requests in the future in which they "feel pressured to examine the foetuss gender" without having a medically compelling reason to do so.
The board has now responded that such requests and thus abortions can not be refused and that it is not possible to deny a woman an abortion up to the 18th week of pregnancy, even if the foetus's gender is the basis for the request.
So if the test says the kid will be gay, can you still abort? Or is it only straight males?
Your baby is growing rapidly. His bones are continuing to harden and the pads of his fingers and toes are formed. He even has his own set of fingerprints developing as well. Your baby is approximately 5.5 inches and weighs about 200 grams (7.5 ounces).
Your baby can kick, swallow, and sleep. He also is developing his stomach, intestine and colon and the intestines collect meconium (the initial stool a baby will pass after birth). If the baby is a boy, the prostate will begin to develop this week as well. The skin is still a bit pink and transparent and his ears still stick out from his head. The four-chambered heart begins to build up muscle cells and is pumping between 25 and 30 quarts of blood per day.
A society perversely bent on murdering the unborn will NEVER SURVIVE.
Good night.
It’s very sad to watch Sweden rot away. And to think we are following behind them, along with other nations. The world is dying bit by bit.
Sweden persecutes Christians, too. Sweden most totalitarian nation in Europe.
The Chinese will love this ruling, given all the female infanticide that goes on with their one child policy.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: If they make a mistake, I dont want them punished with a baby.
Libs cannot have it both ways. Who are they to tell a woman she can’t abort for a reason they don’t happen to like? After all they always point out it’s not a person anyway, so their argument, by their own testimony, is absurd. It can’t be a kid when the woman aborts for a reason they don’t like, and it’s just tissue when it’s a reason they like.
Hypocrites abound.
But you know what would be better?
Why not have the women who have opted for abortions be forced to undergo sterilization after the first abortion? That would render the need for further abortions by women, who should obviously never become mothers!
Wow, that is shocking.
