Sex-selective abortion...

Through FB our longtime friend Al Stout writes:

Here is the argument… 

Abortion is a decision between a woman and her doctor. It is a matter of privacy, and the health of the woman is all that can be considered in these decisions. The fetus is not an individual life. It is not a person. It is a thing (sometimes a parasite) that cannot be taken into account by a third party to the abortion decision. An abortion is like a kidney, lung, or cornea removal.

Since the "thing" in a woman's womb is not a person, why are people upset abortions are performed for reasons of sex selection? For that matter...

if a person does not exist, how can the sex of a person exist? We don't have male or female kidneys. We don't have girl corneas or boy lungs. Sexual identity of those body parts must be derivative of the person who enjoys their use. Yet this "thing" is not a person.

This is a terrible conundrum for the abortion rights folks.

Even those who advocate abortion on demand cannot escape reality. What is the solution? Live with the inconsistency? Well, some of the people do that.

Meanwhile other people never make it out alive.
