Live Action has been campaigning against "sex-selective abortions". That's the euphemism for the killing of baby girls in their mothers' wombs. As Walt told you in "Planned Parenthood caught TWICE promoting sex-selective abortion" on June 1st, they've been posting under-cover videos of Planned Parenthood "counsellors" in NY, TX and now AZ telling women how to arrange for the "procedure". "Planned Parenthood" = "planned baby-killing".
Following the lead of the American media [Isn't that always the way? Ed.] Canada's state-owned broadcaster, the CBC, decided to do a little under-cover journalism of its own. They went to visit a number of "recreational ultrasound clinics", where women can go to have a look at the baby inside them. If the baby is old enough -- 14 weeks or older -- it's possible to see his or her genitalia and thus discover the baby's gender.
In theory, the "clinics" should not do the ultrasound on women earlier than the 20th week of pregnancy, after which point an abortion -- if the women didn't want a baby girl, for instance -- would be inadvisable... although, in Canada, not illegal.
In practice, the CBC found, the majority of "clinics" it visited were happy to take the money and do the ultrasound up to six weeks earlier, knowing full well that the purpose was not "entertainment" but to do determine the gender of the baby so baby girls could be got rid of. "Oh, no, madam... you surely don't want another girl!" Click here to read "Fetal gender testing offered at private clinics" and see the video "Unnatural selection".
In the subtitle to the website page, the CBC says its report "raises fears that gender selection happening in Canada". Well, DUUHHH! As the report points out (rather quietly) the women who avail themselves of the "entertainment ultrasounds" have a definite purpose which goes beyond "oh, let's see the cute baby and admire it's tiny hands and feet".
Another point the CBC kind of glosses over, although it's the elephant in the room, is that sex-selective abortions are most prevalent in certain "ethnic communities" in the Toronto and Vancouver areas. Communities of Asian immigrants, to be more specific. To be more specific still, it's done by Chinese, Korean and -- especially -- "south Asian" (Indian, Pakistani, etc) immigrants.
Why do they do this? Don't they know sex-selective abortion is the cold-blooded slaughter of innocents? The CBC says there are "cultural pressures" at play here, so we mustn't make a big deal of it because to do so would be, errr, racist. Besides, the mothers are oppressed by their husbands and in-laws, and are afraid they'll be beaten or burned or (horrors) divorced and sent back to India.
True enough, and very brave of the ultra-PC CBC to say so. But, you may ask, do these women -- and their babies -- not have any protection under the law? Do they have to submit to abortions on their husbands' demand? Is there nowhere they can turn for help? Apparently not. Tomorrow we'll have a comment from a Canadian blogger.
