Representative Brian Duprey at your service.

Just saw Maine-R Rep. Brian Duprey on the O'reilly factor discussing his bill that would protect fetuses with the "Gay Gene" from abortion should such a gene ever be discovered. THe part that caught my ear was the quote that constitutes the title of this post.

"Women Are So Shallow They Would Abort a Gay Fetus"

He certainly has an interesting opinion of women!

Sure, Greywar. According to Planned Parenthood's own branch of research, the majority of women attaining abortions are getting them for reasons not relating to the health of the mother. In fact, almost less then 1 (one!) % of all abortions in the U.S. are related to rape, incest, or the "health of the mother".

Like those charts? Top reasons women have given to terminate a pregnancy are as follows; too immature for baby (21%), unready for responsibility (21%), concerned about how baby would change life (16%), and has problems with relationship / wants to avoid single childhood (12%).

If you scroll to the bottom of the page you will find a compiled stat. charts which shows the most common reasons for abortion:

too young / immature
economic
avoid adjusting life
mother single or in poor relationship
enough children already

Here is a quote:

"AGI's 1988 survey (as well as the detailed statistics from Minnesota) suggests that a significant fraction of abortions are done by mothers who are not unable to care for a child, but simply do not want their lives inconvenienced. This is an example of the consequences of the current extreme policy in the United States regarding abortion. "

Women who claim children to be an "inconvenience" - a simple unwanted after-effect of intercourse are what I would refer to as shallow. Any man who killed off a kid before it's coming into the world would be seen as such as well and some would think that to be an understatement!

What really gets me, though, is that the majority of abortions are coming from "repeat customers". Women that have already had an abortion. These women are coming back as many as 3 or 4 times. They don't care about the unborn child because they are so shallow they don't consider that the life growing inside them is more then a mass of cells. If anyone wants to boil humans down to the moleculer level in such a way, let's understand that not just future children are cell masses - everyday people walking around are such too.

In 1994-95, nearly half (45 percent) of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. had previously aborted one or more times.

Really, there is no defense for these loathsome acts, someday society will snap out of the lie of abortion and come back to it's senses, until then, we'll continue to see men and women who are too lazy to get the legal abortion kill the infant upon birth, 'cause, hey, it's an inconvenience and the slippery slope has pointed to killing children as okay!

On the comment about Downes Syndrome... there are a few good reasons to abort a fetus with downs syndrome. First, if you feel that you will not be able to dedicate the care that such a child would require, then that would be a reason. Second, if you feel that in your heart of hearts it would be better to not force someone to live with such a terrible disease, then that would be another reason. While it is easy to say that Oh my god, mom, dad, if I had been a Downs Syndrome affected baby you would have aborted me!, but you must realize that these fetuses can not think on their own yet, and therefore are not yet children. Just like eggs and sperm are potential babies, so are fetuses.
