    I never said I didn't watch Fox News. On the contrary, the wife and I watch the morning show because it's twice as fun as those other morning shows. What I said I don't watch is Hannity or when he was on, Beck. But what the.. I give you a link to the Daily Caller and you claim Fox is behind it? Dude.

    P.S. Funny how you guys jump complain about a mythincal war on women but deny the real, obvious example of the left's war on women I keep posting. I guess you can justify it because you don't consider conservative or unborn women "real" or "authentic" women. That is how things are with you leftists, if you don't vote blindly to remain in their grips or toe the party line - you don't matter. I on the other hand believe everyone matters.

    Over a million abortions are performed in the US every year. Forty percent of all pregnancies in the US are terminated. How many do you suppose are female? There are currently 108 boys born for every 100 girls in the US. Why might that be?

    It's the accidental pregnancies that are terminated by abortion by the women's choice, not 40% of all pregnancies as you try to make people believe. Geez.

    Because, as your source shows "Skewed sex ratios (108), favoring boys over girls, have appeared in U.S. subpopulations mirroring the international data (Chinese-Americans, Korean-Americans, and Filipino- Americans)". Get the Asians to change their cultural values and you'll get what you want.

    Excuse me, 40 percent of unintended pregnancies are terminated. Unintentional errors are not "gross misrepresentations." Gross misrepresentations are when you accuse me of gross misrepresentations.

    Well that's about as racist as it gets.

    But let's continue your quote shall we?

    Quote:

    Douglas Almond and Lena Edlund of Columbia University identified these trends, including a male bias of 50% among third-order births, in U.S. populations of Chinese, Korean, and Asian-American heritage. “We interpret the found deviation in favor of sons to be evidence of sex selection, most likely at the prenatal stage,” they write.[2] This fact has prompted several U.S. states to ban sex selection abortion in their jurisdictions. These states include Illinois (2008), Pennsylvania (2008), Oklahoma (2010), and Arizona (2011).

    Worldwide Condemnation

    Cultural policies to deter sex selection abortion have been pursued by countries around the world for many years, and legislative bans have been adopted in many countries. Abortions for sex selection are illegal in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, India, the United Kingdom (which has banned sex selection abortion for “social reasons”), and Vietnam. While legislative action is not enough to undo centuries-long cultural biases, it has often proven to be the threshold step for galvanizing cultural reform.

    Public Support for Action

    Besides the legislation that has been enacted in diverse regions of the world, evidence exists that legislative bans on sex selection abortions have broad support. A March 2006 Zogby poll found that 86 percent of Americans believe that an abortion performed because of the sex of the developing child should be illegal. A LifeCanada poll conducted by Environics Research and released in October 2011 showed that an astonishing 92 percent of Canadians thought that sex selection abortions should not be legal in Canada.[3] To this can be added the new poll released on May 16, 2012 by the Charlotte Lozier Institute, which found that 77 percent of American adults (80 percent of women) would support making sex-selection abortion illegal when that is the sole reason for seeking an abortion.
    Seems you Canucks overwhelmingly agree with me that this actual war on women should be illegal, so let's address that instead of this manufactured war, eh?

    Why racist? Asians prefer male children for several reasons embedded in their culture. Just like American farmers used to prefer male children to help on the farm. Girls were fairly worthless except as cooks for the harvest and threshing crews--and to produce more sons.

    Funny how me and tom appear to be the only ones here that don't find girls "worthless" or disposable, but I digress.

    I believe I just said he was a farmer and didn't seem to worry about the girls being "fairly worthless." I don't know what all the girls did, I know my mom played basketball. So? I understand the preference for boys but you seem to be trying to distract from the point, which is where the actual war on women is taking place.

    Well, you should care. Many first-generation Asians have brought their cultural and family values to this country and are trying to uphold them in the face of the personal freedom their children are otherwise experiencing. Sharia law is one of those brought-over values. Female genital mutilation is another. Asian boys don’t need the dowries that can cripple a family financially. Boys are supposed to stay home after marrying and help care for aging parents. Hinduism dictates that only boys can light their parents’ funeral pyres.

    Yeah and those cultural preference are gone in a generation ;just like most immigrant groups in the past ;their children love being American and all that implies.

    But the point is that PP was caught on tape speaking of the option to abort based on gender preference. I guess that comes under the pro-choice category ?

    Ah, glad you agree with me that certain cultural norms being imported to this country like Sharia law are a threat.

    Now about this war on women here, try to stop dancing around and tell us who should we be worried about, those aborting women for gender preference, union leaders smashing piñatas with Nikki Haley's face on them, porno rags photoshopping and publishing vulgar images of conservative women, a president who wants a country full of Julias dependent from cradle to grave or conservatives trying to give that baby girl a chance and empowering her to be a strong, independent woman?

    My beef is parents who don't know how to parent so that their kids don't get a good start before school, eat too much junk food, don't know how to write a thank-you note or even say the words, feel entitled about anything and everything, and don't know how to keep their clothes on once they turn 12. If you can fix the parents and how they parent, you're on your way to nirvana.

    So are we saying it is anti-female racism from the womb or more a preference of partiality of parents to their own children being born based on, which sex of a child will be more beneficial to the survival of the family? Not that I agree with all abortions and maybe we should revisit again and again what happens to many girls after they are born and even what happens to many young boys. I've heard it said from soldiers coming back from Saudi/Iraq when we were over there that the mindset among some of the rich and powerful over there is that, girls are for making babies and boys are for pleasure slaves. I'm only sharing what I've heard as perhaps some of you have heard the same. Information became available when we were there through intelligences and information gathering. And what is being done to the innocent in other countries including America with mainly white slavery of women and girls disappearances, especially being taken into foreign countries, never to be seen again though some have escaped. Yet governments keep too quiet about it all not to rock the political boat on a global scale. I'm a woman and I'm not so much concerned about my rights and privileges, but more about the future of young daughters worldwide, living and yet to be born.
