Sunny5, what are you on about?
I have no problem with people who are against abortion, because I agree it should happen much less than it does in our society.
However, when you make a claim like this one ..."The stats of boys being born compared to girls here, shows THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING HERE! ", I would like to see the stats you speak of?
Abortions at 19 weeks are extremely rare, and will only ever happen where there is an extreme foetal disability, or where the mother's life is in danger.
I know this fact because I am a midwife.
You talk of how aborting disabled babies is awful, but there are many really awful conditions where babies that are left to go to term and through labour, can suffer awfully. It is truly dreadful to watch parents go though the trauma of birth, only to deliver a child that dies shortly before or after birth.
It is cruel for all concerned, and if they chose to abort at an earlier stage then it is nobody else's business than them and their doctor.
And it is legal, so ...move on.
