Sign the Petition to Ban Sex-Selection Abortion

There's a poignant scene in Anne of Green Gables when she realizes that Marilla and Matthew had been expecting a little boy orphan to help out on the farm. "You don't want me because I'm not a boy?" she asks. "I might have guessed. Nobody ever did want me." Ann had something in common with all the little girls who are unwanted even before birth, however she had the advantage of already being born. No one would kill her for being a girl. But plenty of people out there see their unborn babies as designer items. The first requirement is being the "right" sex. Unfortunately for little girls that is generally boys.

Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) has introduced a bill to make sex selection abortion illegal. You can sign a petition supporting this bill at the ACLJ's (American Center for Law and Justice) website. Let's go on record as opposing this barbarism. Abortion is bad for any reason, but killing a baby because she happens to be the "wrong" sex...well, there aren't words! Do we really want to imitate China's murderous example?
