Life Links 7/1/11

Joe Carter points out Mara Hvistendahl's obviously inconsistent beliefs about abortion and sex-selection abortion.
So why does she accept the first form of the argument but not this one? Because that is the outcome she wants. She believes that (A) a woman should have the right to an abort a fetus and that (B) a woman should not have the right to abort a fetus if she knows it is a female. Logic and consistency be damned, the two beliefs must be compatible because she wants them both to be true at the same time.
It truly is amazing how pro-choicers who are opposed to sex-selection abortion can't see how the premise of their pro-choice position (women should be allowed to choose for themselves whether they should remain pregnant) is wholly inconsistent with saying women shouldn't be allowed to abort because they don't want a female child. I guess "Trust women!" only goes so far.


Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri has been granted a license to perform abortions in Kansas.
Shortly after 4 p.m. Thursday, state health officials notified Planned Parenthood that it would be the only abortion clinic to get a license under controversial new rules that take effect today....

The state’s two other abortion clinics — Aid for Women in Kansas City, Kan., and the Center for Women’s Health in Overland Park — are without licenses and unable to provide abortions.

Both will be in federal court at 3 p.m. today to challenge the new rules. Neither clinic had any abortion appointments scheduled for today.
