    Yes, but this is unenforcible! All a woman has to do is lie as to why she is getting the abortion.

    From 1973 until the Republicans took control there was not a single piece of pro-life legislation introduced in the democrat House. Yet Christians still vote for this party of death whose party platform is pro abortion.

    I have said that Islam is a religion of death, the democrat party is a party of death.

    After thinking about it for a day or two...

    I have come to the conclusion that the reason that the Democrats voted against making sex selection abortion illegal...

    Is becasue they want to reserve it for some time in the future when the government puts themselves in charge of requiring sex selection abortions based on some "greater societial good".

    No doubt at some point the Democrats will decide that there are too many men or some such thing and decide that it is the government's job to fix it. :rolleyes:

    Maybe you should think about it some more, since this is ridiculous.

    Even more ridiculous than the government trying to force churches to fund something that they are morally opposed to?

    Are churches being taxed and forced to support this?

    No, I am talking about Obama trying to force churches to pay for contraception and abortifaciant drugs.

    Seriously, where have you been?

    Sorry, I thought the subject of this thread was gender specific abortions. I didn't realize you had changed subjects. BTW, I don't support churches being forced to so what you say.

    No change of subject...

    I am merely explaining to you why the possibility of the government in the future mandating sex selected abortions as part of their social engineering is not riduculous.

    As little as a year ago it would have been considered "ridiculous" that the government would mandate that churches have to provide contraception and abortifaciant drugs to employees...

    But that is exactly what Obama did.

    I guess in the future there is no telling what will transpire. We might as well speculate that some future president may plunge us into another world war. Who knows!

    The fact that the churches will be forced to provide contraception and abortifacients to employees is something I would be against. Hopefully this will be part of the Health Care Bill that is struck down.

    If the republicans waste a lot of time with this kind of garbage I will be mighty skeptical.

    Although I am not a stanch supporter of Ron Paul I would have to agree that it would be very hard to prove that Ron Paul is a hypocrite about his political stance. While one may not agree with him on certain political issues he has been the only politician that I know of to EVER serve who has stood by his convictions unwavering for all his years in politics.

    I do however agree with him on this voting down of this bill. It is not only unconstitutional, but it should be a state issue not a Federal one, also it is simply ridiculous as it can have absolutely no effect on the number of abortions.
    The only reason this bill was even sponsored was to appease the conservative base while the bill had no ability to do what it suggested it would do. The ones who sponsored it knew if it passed they would be given high marks by conservatives and if it failed those who opposed it would be scorned by the conservative base. This was a win, win for those legislators who sponsored this and was shrewd beyond measure. They win if they win and they win if they lose. The only ones with egg on their face are the conservatives who think this bill had any ability to stop even one abortion. These politicians who pull this kind of political prank must have to take medication to stop laughing at the conservative base on issues like this.

    Sometimes one must stand for something, even though it may be a lost cause.

    On life and death issues, I choose to stand for life -- wherever, whenever, and however it may be presented.

    Stranding for life is good, but taking stands to take stands even when the stand can have no fruit makes it in vain.

    One cannot know what will be the result of taking a stand. You take it based on principle and let God bring forth what fruit He may desire.
