The first time I'd heard about Gender Selection or Specific Abortion was from overseas. China is a nation of billions, and communist, so the government in the effort to combat the burgeoning population instituted the "One Child Law". Where parents are only allowed to have one child, period.
If by chance a woman is caught having another child, she is arrested and dragged to a clinic where she is "forcefully aborted". Yes, even if she is 8 months pregnant!
Many women have died from this procedure, and this is what the Christian Chinese blind activist (Chen Guangcheng) was opposing. In fact, he was so effective, the Chinese government had his name on their hit list. That is why he asked for asylum and escaped China. Thank God!
Due to ancient Chinese tradition, male children are more valuable than female children. Why? The males were the warriors, protectors of the family and the realm, while the females were subservient almost unto slavery (with a few exceptions). So back in ancient times, girl children were considered just an extra mouth to feed. So mothers would either abandon, or "dispose" of girls in favor of the boys. Due to this Godless custom and tradition, the Chinese population is overwhelmingly male, and have no women to marry . . . . . . .
This dilemma can take several courses, and not all good. I've read stories of the increase of female kidnappings, men reduced to "stealing women" in order to marry up. Appeals on the internet for American brides to marry has risen. This may also lead to an explosion in the male gay population. Last but not least in Revelations (The Bible), there is a huge army coming out of The Land Of The Rising Sun (which is China) who will be utilized by the Anti-Christ. God is setting up His chess pieces to play them out.
As outraged as I was to hear about the barbaric practice of Gender Selection/Specific Abortion in China, I never dreamed it has been practiced right here in the United States. The reason the practice gets little notice is because the Godless believe they are merely pruning the roses, or removing a pimple.
What of the poor little ones who never had a chance to live? The ones who had the potential to be a nuclear physicist, the next president, the next MacArthur, another Steve Jobs. . . . . . They never had the chance to see the light of day.
May God have mercy upon us all. . . . . . . . . .

Priests for Life Supports Ban on Gender-Specific Abortion
WASHINGTON, May 30, 2012 /Christian Newswire/ -- Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, today issued a statement in favor of the Prenatal
Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), which is expected to be voted on in the House of Representatives this evening.
The measure would outlaw any abortion performed because of the gender of a baby.
"This is one of those measures that drives home the point that abortions in America can be performed for any reason whatsoever. People often react in horrified unbelief that there even is such a thing as sex-selection abortion. But the existence of legislation to stop it can awaken the consciences of many. Let's pass this law, and let's use the vote of our Representatives on this bill as an election issue," Fr. Pavone said.
It is estimated that 163 million women are "missing" because of sex-selective abortion around the globe.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit
