Don’t let South Dakota pass a racist anti-Asian abortion ban!
Last week the South Dakota House voted 60 to 10 to pass an abortion ban which they say is necessary because of Asian immigrants in the state.
Stace Nelson, one of the Representatives that voted in favor of the bill, warned of an invasion of abortion-seeking Asians in South Dakota:
“Let me tell you, our population in South Dakota is a lot more diverse than it ever was. There are cultures that look at a sex-selection abortion as being culturally okay. And I will suggest to you that we are embracing individuals from some of those cultures in this country, or in this state.”
This measure, like other similar measures we are seeing across the country, are nothing more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The people behind these bans have never been friends to women and they are simply trying to underhandedly pass an anti-choice measure on the backs of Asian American women.
Don’t let this kind of racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric go unanswered. Tell the South Dakota Legislature NOT to pass HR 1162.
How would they know why you are aborting? I mean if you are doing it because you wanted a boy you could just lie and give another reason..... How are they going to really know?
I do think it is kinda sick and sad to abort a baby just because it has the wrong genitals than what you wanted, but I guess that is their right. It might make you a horrible person, but you should still be legally allowed to do it.
Also are they just going to ask Asians why they are aborting or everyone? Because I can assure you I have heard of other races doing abortion due to sex selection. It is not just Asians.
BA, ITA. And also - if you want the "right" gender so badly you will abort a baby of the "wrong" gender, then I would vastly prefer that person NOT have that "wrong" gender baby!
And look at China. Thanks to decades of selective abortions in the quest for sons, there is a woman shortage - which is doing amazing things for feminism there. Now women aren't disposable. Now they can be very choosy about who they marry and how they are treated.
