Congressmen from the U.S. House Judiciary Committee today had a lengthy discussion with four witnesses about gender- and race-based abortions, and why a law banning them may be necessary.
Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., who chaired the discussion for the Subcommittee on the Constitution, is sponsoring the Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), which would hold abortionists accountable for terminating pregnancies based on the race or gender of the baby. Legislators, as well as three of the four panelists, expressed concern about the fact that gender-selective abortions are occurring in the U.S. already, particularly among ethnic groups which value boys over girls.
Congressmen asked Steven F. Aden, an attorney for the Alliance Defense Fund, how such a law might be enforced.
"In the case of a sex-selection abortion, there's a requirement for the doctor to obtain full informed consent from the patient," Aden said. "If a woman has had two abortions in a row of a female baby, that might raise a question for him, to ensure that the patient has not been coerced into this, especially if she comes from one of the populations that has a proclivity for this."
Investigative author Edwin Black spoke about the history of Planned Parenthood, and its seminal goal of exterminating black children, and the problems social engineering is already creating in countries where gender-selective abortions are encouraged.
"Planned Parenthood was not rooted in eugenics," when it was founded, Black said. Rather, "it was eugenics.
"Eugenics is an attempt to affect bloodlines. Right now, today this minute, the transhumanist movement, which is well-funded and well-established in the U.K. and the U.S., is trying to manipulate and create a society. The reason I'm here is because you are attempting to address a doorway that our society is going into because we are going into organized and systematized subtraction of a group — women or black people or whatever it is — to socially engineer."
Asked what would happen if Congress were to pass a law mandating the opposite — advocating girls and certain races be targeted for abortion — Aden said it "wouldn't fly because it would be discrimination.
"Congress is not bound to sit and wait until racial and gender discriminatory policies make themselves manifest," he said. "Congress can act proactively in addressing them."
From a historical perspective, Black said, passing PRENDA is the only right thing to do.
"I believe we can't fathom or measure what has been lost from any genocide," he said. "None of us may judge the value of a human being. We don't have the measuring sticks or the right to do this to another person. None of us can decide what's best for humanity. That's what nature is about, that's what the Almighty is about."
