Is the irony of this lost on anyone - Many liberals support abortion, including gender based abortion?

At the same time, female fetuses are by far, the more likely to be aborted... This seems to me to be a paradox... How does one support women's rights and at the same time, support the termination of unborn women.

Abortion isn't a defining topic for me, so I don't have a dog in this fight - But this piece of the issue and the thinking behind those in support of it, is a curiosity to me...

    Rather odd that they say two things at the exact same moment/breath.

    But, do not catch the irony of it. Naturally, they oppose gender based abortion. On the other? Why, they've certainly no wish to interfere in the least with a woman's decision. Which means they'd rather not speak of it. Nor have a hand in stopping. Which means allowing gender based abortion.

    Because silence means assent. Period. They wish to be silent.

    It is also saying they're fine with a post 18 week abortion? Since ultrasound can not readily determine earlier.

    Source(s): Double speak.

    Edward, actually the sky isn't blue. It's transparent.

    Liberal hypocrisy and lies is what it is. As the old saying goes "Actions speak louder than words" - liberal abortion clinics believe in gender based termination. Now here's the scary part - You can't really even guess at the gender until at least 16 weeks - second trimester. And now new studies show that fetus's may be able to feel pain as early as 18 weeks. If you want a cause to fight for, watch "The silent scream".

    Many pro choice nurses have gone pro life. Our incomplete sciences cannot explain away the 'expressions' these aborted babies are making. You can see the mouth open and the body twitch. Yet they still support late term abortions, while at the same time saying "We fight for those who cannot fight for themselves" . Liberals make me sick.

    It's not that we like abortion. It's not a pleasant thing. But we also have more complex brains which can process other factors such as if abortion is illegal, women will go to illegal underground abortion doctors to get the job done. They may also try taking drugs to kill the fetus. These are both dangerous and more harmful to society than clinical abortions.

    The real war on women is aborting them before they are born... a liberal notion. China's been doing this for decades, and so have Americans (very quietly).

    No. How low does a person's IQ have to be to take a rancid, made for November, political stunt seriously?

    I will toss you another one from the other side. Many conservatives are pro life but want aid to babies that are not aborted, taken away.

    The only thing lost here is you. It's like saying you don't understand why the sky is blue when tacos have fish in them.
