More education in this area is needed. Women need to learn that girls are NOT worth less than boys. The days of women having no value are gone.

It's usually men with big egos who want their first born to be male. But to answer your question, this pro-choice person does not believe gender selection is a valid reason to get an abortion and in this country I seriously doubt that accounts for 1% of all abortions.

Most of the militant pro-choice types I've known in my lifetime have lost friends/mothers/sisters/aunts/wives to back alley abortions.

Well, who are you to tell someone they can't get an abortion if they want a boy or a girl? Who cares, it's not a person? That's your logic anyway - mom has the right to kill the kid.

Where did I say gender selection should not be allowed? I said it wasn't a valid reason IN MY OPINION. Huge difference, slick.

Why not? Are you going to tell a woman what she can and can't do with her own body?

Rapist wants visitation rights; teen mom fighting back - Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston

She must be scarred for life.
I agree with you 100%. I think abortion should be rare, but I will fight for a woman to choose for herself.
Even the most adamant against it, could find themselves in a situation that would deem it necessary. Only the individual and her doctor can make that decision...not the government.
