Sex-Selection in America: Part 1 - Undercover in Texas

Sign the petition NOW to stop the killing of girls, just because they are girls! www.ProtectOurGirls.com

UPDATE: Planned Parenthood has fired the staff member in this video.

Over 100 millions girls are missing today. These girls were victims of gendercide. The war on baby girls begins in the womb.

AUSTIN, May 29 -- Today, Live Action released a new undercover video showing a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Austin, TX encouraging a woman to obtain a late-term abortion because she was purportedly carrying a girl and wanted to have a boy. The video is first in a new series titled "Gendercide: Sex-Selection in America," exposing the practice of sex-selective abortion in the United States and how Planned Parenthood and the rest of the abortion industry facilitate the selective elimination of baby girls in the womb.

"I see that you're saying that you want to terminate if it's a girl, so are you just wanting to continue the pregnancy in the meantime?" a counselor named "Rebecca" offers the woman, who is purportedly still in her first trimester and cannot be certain about the gender. "The abortion covers you up until 23 weeks," explains Rebecca, "and usually at 5 months is usually (sic) when they detect, you know, whether or not it's a boy or a girl." Doctors agree that the later in term a doctor performs an abortion, the greater the risk of complications.

The Planned Parenthood staffer suggests that the woman get on Medicaid in order to pay for an ultrasound to determine the gender of her baby, even though she plans to use the knowledge for an elective abortion. She also tells the woman to "just continue and try again" for the desired gender after aborting a girl, and adds, "Good luck, and I hope that you do get your boy."

"The search-and-destroy targeting of baby girls through prenatal testing and abortion is a pandemic that is spreading across the globe," notes Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action. "Research proves that sex-selective abortion has now come to America. The abortion industry, led by Planned Parenthood, is a willing participant."

Six studies in the past four years indicate that there are thousands of "missing girls" in the U.S., many from sex-selective abortion. The U.K., India, Australia, and other countries ban sex-selective abortion, but the U.S., save for three states, does not. On Wednesday, Congress will debate the Prenatal Non-Discrimination Act (PRENDA), which would ban sex-selective abortions nationally.

"Planned Parenthood and their ruthless abortion-first mentality is the real 'war on women'," says Rose. "Sex-selective abortion is gender discrimination with lethal consequences for little girls."

How, can a woman have a smile on her face when she talks about not only having one abortion, but two? I have pity on society and I feel sorry when the time comes that we are to answer to a higher authority about it

[Rich White]

Please don't use the name Jesus when talking about murdering innocent children.

[Eva Moya]

wow, the fact that she encouraged trying again and again for a boy disgusted me. That means she would be ok with aborting one baby after another if this lady continued to have girls. How can you be so heartless to be able to smile and be so careless about something like that. Wow..

[Lexi187]

very sick! but how do you know they wouldnt do the same thing or have the same reaction if she had said the same thing if its a boy

[Simply4Gs]

Even if it wasnt under the best circumstances...That does not give anyone the right to kill an innocent human being...

[Sharingan5100]

Why though?

I don't believe in God, but I think abortion is wrong. After all, in vivo a fetus doesn't change species, so it's still a human.

I also think every member of the human species deserves the right to be born, and the right to be taken care of after they die.

Am I a scumbag for being against what I perceive to be a continual devaluing of human life?

Am I also a scumbag for donating money to womens shelters that help women who chose to have their child adopted instead of Aborted?

Fetuses that never achieved consciousness? You have no idea what you're talking about. Do a little research before you spout off your ignorant mouth.

The main reason boys are preferred in other countries is because of work and family income. But, some extremely selfish people believe that it is their right to choose the gender of the children in their family and "eliminate" the undesirables.

What's wrong with girls?

And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children. For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.~Luke23:27-29
