Republican Presidential Hopeful Rick Santorum: The Canadian Medical Association Journal

Sarah Palin Dept: Since a woman has the right to an abortion, on what basis would the state rob her of that right?, according to The Star. Or, would the ban extend to all fetuses as pro-lifers have long argued including those diagnosed with life-threatening defects? Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum advocates so, and relates how his wife carried just such a baby to full term in 1996, only to see the newborn die within hours. Sarah Palin made the choice of giving birth to a boy with Down syndrome and the Canadian Medical Association Journal says the way to stop the abortion of female fetuses is to withhold disclosing the sex of a fetus until 30 weeks, by which time an unquestioned abortion is all but impossible. This raises questions: To save female fetuses, obviously. If so, would it be okay to abort male fetuses, as some women in North America are said to be doing? (www.immigrantscanada.com).
