Over 100 millions girls are missing today. These girls were victims of gendercide. The war on baby girls begins in the womb. Here is an article below about the case in Texas.

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.”

Live Action is a youth led movement dedicated to building a culture of life and ending the human rights abuse of abortion. They use new media to educate the public about the humanity of the unborn and investigative journalism to expose threats against the vulnerable and defenseless.

I read an excerpt from Sanders interview of Harrison.

Harrison DID NOT try to talk a patient into an abortion. In the interview Harrison was referring to a pregnancy of a 16 year old daughter of a friend. "If asked, I would have advised an abortion"

...but apparently he wasn't asked, and didn't feel he should tell a stranger what to do with her body.

I was getting the first oil change (gratis by the dealership) for the pickup in Pine Bluff when I was stuck in the waiting room with these two Xtians. One was a doctor, and the other was this old broad that had a sweet job slut-shamming women for a "Pregnancy Crisis Center". I kept my mouth shut as they were discussing "christian movies", anyhow, the woman's car was ready upon her leaving I noticed there was a big ol' "WE VOTE PRO LIFE" bumper sticker on the back.

And would a young girl be looking for an oil change if she was sitting in an abortion clinic? I'll have to ask the many women I know if when they were younger and went to LR or Fayetteville for an abortion...did they find the doctor on his knees begging them to go for it because his babies needed new shoes.

When, unless the mother isn't able or the fetus has a major defect.....what other times does a doctor look at a woman and "advise" she better ditch that fetus before the sun goes down....little Missy! I smell a cooked up story....sniff sniff....yep...cooked up, sure smells like it.

Certainly arguments for and against abortion can be made based on isolated anecdotes and emotional responses. Maybe you can make a case based on the dna of a fetus. I could counter your isolated anecdotes with my own anecdotes about coat hanger abortions performed in the back seats of cars in dark alleys. I'm old enough to remember them. I can counter your dna argument with the argument that viability should be the test. I can argue that conservatives don't have any credibility to argue pro-life positions on abortion until they are pro-life about the already born. I could ask why, if life begins at conception, we don't have funerals for mis-carriages? Or are we going to prosecute women who don't eat right or who drink or smoke during their pregnancies?

All that to say, both sides of this argument need to step away from the extremes of ideology and recognize that there are no absolutes when it comes to abortion. I personally am grateful that I and my family have not been faced with this choice. I like to think that I'm not arrogant enough to know definitively how I would respond if I were confronted with this decision. I'm also not arrogant enough to say that I/we have the right, the responsibility, or the wisdom to make these terribly difficult choices for someone else.

You have no moral high ground when you and your confederates constantly deny health care, clean air and water, living wages, safe working conditions, and justice for everyone except the rich, after they are born. Profit, not life, is your moral imperative.

I was also moved by David Sanders interview with the abortionist Dr William F Harrison concerning advice he gave to abort about 25 years ago to a 16 yr old pregnant girl. The you girl did not abort and her daughter is now graduating with a masters because her mother rejected Dr Harrison's advice. Dr Harrison admitted that sent a cold chill down his spine when thinks of his advice.

Dr. C. Everett Koop said that everyone that advocates abortion has the benefit of already being born. What if you were to ask that lady today if her mother should have taken Dr Harrison's advice?
Posted by SalineRepublican]]> Tue, 19 Feb 2013 22:43:11 -0600 Arkansas Times Could you find another pic instead of that awful photo of Rep. Ballinger to display <

When Max first posted Ballinger's face I thought, 'well, he's not a hunk-a-hunk of burning love' but it's Hindsville so, who can say. In Madison County he may be the best hunk-a-hunk burning love.

The “original sin” of the Southern political class is cheap, powerless labor.
This article hits the nail on the head. Southern Dems & Repubs, very little difference when it comes to helping working people.
