U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06) today cosponsored the PreNatal Nondiscrimination Act, which would prohibit sex-selection abortion and race-selection abortion.
"Congress has repeatedly criticized other nations for promoting sex-selection abortions - and rightfully so. But, Congress has yet to do anything to end the practice right here in the United States," said Bachmann. "Every child deserves the chance to live - little girls every bit as little boys. Every child has the right to life - regardless of race. The fact that federally funded institutions perform abortions based on sex and race in 2009 is abhorrent and we must put an end to it today."
