BREAKING: The House of Representatives failed to pass a bill that would ban sex-selection abortions. With a 246-168 vote, the bill did not obtain the two-thirds majority necessary to pass. Republicans voted for the bill on a 226-7 margin while Democrats opposed banning sex-selection abortions on 161-20 vote margin.
The bill would have made it a federal offense to knowingly do any one of the following four things: (1) perform an abortion, at any time in pregnancy, knowing that such abortion is sought based on the sex or gender of the child; (2) use force or threat of force . . . for the purpose of coercing a sex-selection abortion; (3) solicit or accept funds to perform a sex-selection abortion; or (4) transport a woman into the U.S. or across state lines for this purpose. However, a woman upon whom a sex-selection abortion is performed may not be prosecuted or held civilly liable for any violation.
Just thought you ‘d like to be up to date on what our options have become. Not life, of course, not if we’re female, that is.
Thanks for the update…as sad as it is…the changes I’ve seen in my life time are staggering…we must speak up, be louder, not give up…thanks again.
Be encouraged!
Thanks, Stephen, for this comment and for your encouragement!
Sad, yes. It is sad. And it is not new. Missionaries such as Amy Carmichael worked long ago against such abuse, but the grim reaper never gives up.
1) Nice new layout! I love it.
2) This world sucks. I cannot wait for the next one.
Thanks for your compliment, Tiff!
I keep remembering how perfect this world was before people messed it up. Sighs.
I know! it was totally like Narnia. Only without the Neevil.
And without the bachanalian orgies and blood sacrifices to satan and . . .
