Medical Ethicist Endorses gender based abortion - You knew it was coming |
2017-03-19 |
[Breitbart] Women should be able to abort their babies simply because they are the "wrong" sex, a leading ethicist at Britain’s doctors’ union has said. Professor Wendy Savage, a member of the ethics committee of the British Medical Association, said women should be able to have an abortion at any stage of pregnancy for whatever reason, even when the child would be able to survive outside of the womb. She also said that abortion pills should be available online without the need to see a doctor or nurse. There has been growing concern in Britain that an increasing number of women are seeking abortions simply because they do not want girls, leading to some hospitals refusing to tell parents the sex of their babies. However, Professor Savage told the Mail on Sunday: "Because of this sort of anxiety some places won’t tell the woman the sex of the foetus, which is outrageous. "It’s her body and her foetus, so she should have that information... If a woman does not want to have a foetus who is one sex or the other, forcing her [to go through with the pregnancy] is not going to be good for the eventual child, and it’s not going to be good for [the mother’s] mental health." She previously caused outrage after signing a letter claiming sex-selective abortion is not "gender discrimination" because that only applies to "living people". She then doubled down on those views, claiming the unborn child is not really a person. |

#6 Gender based abortion is the reason for the wildly skewed sex ratios in China under the old One Child Policy. Maybe instead of the traditional grow-your-own method, we could grow embryos in vats. Then, when you need a new kid, you just go down and pick one out. Like going to the pound for a puppy. |

#5 Any guess if there's a correlation between religious beliefs and the abortion of girls? I just wish that Wendy Savages mother had had an abortion. |

#4 Old age had done Savage some damage. "Oh, daughter, please fetch me a sandwich. I'm frightened of falling... Wait, who am I calling? I had you hacked up like a cabbage." |

#2 increasing number of women are seeking abortions simply because they do not want girls, I've noticed something interesting. Women who have kids via artificial insemination - because men are scum - usually have boys. |
