Planned Parenthood’s Okay With Sex-Selection Abortions in the U.S.
by Sarah Terzo
When Live Action released videos of Planned Parenthood
staffers encouraging and assisting in alleged sex selection abortions,
it unleashed a pro-abortion firestorm. Planned Parenthood and other
pro-choice organizations launched a campaign against proposed
legislation banning sex selection abortion and tried to debunk the
videos by claiming that sex selection abortions are a myth. They
insisted that such abortions never happen. However, a little bit of
research shows that these abortions are occurring and have been
occurring for a very long time, since the very legalization of abortion
in Roe Vs. Wade.
In 1979, only six years after the Roe vs. Wade decision, a paper
appeared in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine about the
practice of sex selection abortions.
Researcher Dr. John Fletcher from the National Institutes of Health
discussed the prevalence of women aborting because they were pregnant
with a girl and they wanted a boy. He says in the article that he does
not approve of the practice of aborting baby girls but:
“The existence of some trivial reasons should not deter
us from the larger goal of protecting the right of women to make such
decisions in the first place… It is inconsistent to support an abortion
law that protects the absolute right of women to decide and, at the same
time, to block access to information about the fetus because one thinks
that an abortion may be foolishly sought on the basis of the
information.”(1)

We all knew about China’s “one child” policy and how female babies were being aborted in hopes that the couple would have a boy the next time; but now we’re learning that right here in our own country, sex-selection abortions have been going on for decades! These would-be mothers must be possessed by the devil to commit such evil.
