I'd like to put those questions to the anonymous spokesperson, no doubt her reaction would be interesting.<br /><br />Sex-selective abortions are emphatically NOT a practise restricted to Indian and Chinese families.

Either they have to advocate a woman's right to dispose of the unborn child as she will, or propose some constraints. Any constraint will have recourse to a "higher principle"--in this case, women's rights and gender neutrality. <br /><br />But that is an impossible position for the abortionist to argue coherently and rationally because the fundamental philosophical plank of the ideology of abortion is that the unborn is <i>not</i> a human being.<br /><br />JT<br /><br />John Tertullianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195747255458392629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8614009373413502880.post-36093043825344260932013-01-12T21:28:50.143+13:002013-01-12T21:28:50.143+13:00Whoever the Department of Health "spokeswoman...Whoever the Department of Health "spokeswoman" is, she is correct to call it morally wrong but it is no more wrong than any other type of abortion.
