Sex Selective Abortions Uncovered In NC

Special Report - June 26, 2012

An undercover investigation by the pro-life organization Live Action reveals that two North Carolina abortion clinics are open to helping women procure sex-selective abortions. ProtectOurGirls.com, a project of Live Action, released new videos on June 20 “showing a National Abortion Federation (NAF) clinic in Raleigh and a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Chapel Hill advising women on how best to procure a sex-selective abortion of their baby girls because they want a boy instead,” according to a press release from the group. The video is part of a new project by Live Action called “Gendercide” that has “documented abortion clinics’ support for sex-selection at 8 clinics in 5 states.” The North Carolina video is the fifth video released by the project.

The video shows a counselor at A Woman’s Choice of Raleigh, Inc, which is a NAF member, referring a pregnant woman “to an OB/GYN to confirm the gender of the baby with a diagnostic ultrasound” after the woman indicates that she is seeking an abortion if her baby is a girl. The counselor tells the patient, “Your reasons are your reasons. You know, it’s totally fine.” She goes on to advise the patient to tell her OB/GYN after the procedure that she “had to go to the hospital and miscarried.”

The second video, which documents the interaction of a supposedly 16-week pregnant woman who wants an abortion if her baby is a girl and a counselor at Planned Parenthood’s Chapel Hill abortion clinic, shows similar acceptance of sex-selective motivation for abortions. The counselor tells the woman, “We do not turn patients away who are seeking our services.”

According to the ProtectOurGirls.com press release, “sex-selective abortion is legal in all but four states in the U.S.,” and “worldwide, over 160 million girls are missing because of sex-selective abortion.”

“This latest footage again shows Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry’s callous disregard for the health of women—born and unborn,” says Lila Rose, founder and president of Live Action, in a press release. “Planned Parenthood and their abortion allies are waging the real war on women, and tax payers should not have to subsidize the abortion-first mentality that enables extreme gender discrimination, puts women’s health at risk, and destroys thousands of innocent lives.”
