This story makes me physically sick. Lord, have mercy!

Pet peeve alert: Gender is for words and sex is for people and animals. To say they wanted to choose the gender of their child is wrong- they wanted to choose the sex of their child.

Sex selection happened a lot in India - girls require a dowry - so they outlawed it. As a consequence ultrasound technicians are now regularly bribed into telling prospective parents the sex of their child. :doh:

Your viewing as a "popshot" but it is not a potshot. All I meant was that she was a bit harder to deal with and a heck of a lot more confused than anybody else on the forum that I've run into so far.

Don't go around calling other people confused, makker. It's not nice.

The law that allowed this to happen is a new one and isolated to one state. I hope that the result of this story is that people have a rethink and our abortion laws become a bit more conservative.

Sadly, with the Greens gaining more and more political influence, I can see it getting much worse before it gets better.

Maybe. I know there are people who believe in 'an abortion for any reason at any time' who welcomed Victoria's new laws. It's these people who I am hoping are reading this article. Perhaps the legal situation will get worse (I hope not!) but hopefully the hearts of many people will begin to be changed.:crossrc:

nope stating that someone is confused is not an insult it's an observation.

Therefore regardless of whether the woman is here or not, it is not a pop shot or any other kind of shot. A thing needs to be a shot before it can be a POP shot.

At least it might illuminate the issue for some of the more reasonable unreasonable people :D

It's low, trollish behaviour to do so. At least have the guts to say it to her face and if she's not here, just drop the matter, K?

Actually it is an insult because you're statement that their confused means, they are deficient in their understanding of an issue. It's a statement of superiority on your part.
