Back -- segment tonight aborting a fetus because of it's gender in China there are 120 boys for every 100 girls that's because that totalitarian nation.
Has a one child policy to keep the population down.
And most Chinese prefer that child to be a boy so the sonogram shows a fetus to be a girl it is often bored.
Now that's happening here.
Two undercover video state show that Planned Parenthood is participating in gender abortions.
Earlier this week we showed you -- Texas Planned Parenthood counselor doing that and tonight we have video showing in New York City Planned Parenthood person saying this.
So if you you decided that even if you find out that it's a girl.
And he decided that that what you would prefer if it terminate the pregnancy and that's just your decision and I can tell you that you hear it Karen -- and -- believe.
It's not up to us to decide what is it couldn't -- that reason this committee to decide.
To terminate -- pregnancy.
So it's a free fire zone it Planned Parenthood.
-- the house today could not Muster a two thirds vote to ban gender based abortions and incredibly.
The president of the United States will not condemned that.
The administration opposes gender discrimination in all forms.
But the end result of this legislation would be to subject doctors to criminal prosecution.
If they fail to determine the motivations.
Behind it very personal and private decision.
Let's not quite true.
It would subject doctors to criminal prosecution if they knowingly aborted fetus based upon a gender decision by the -- Joining us now from Washington or -- Now the vote in the house was 246.
To criminalize gender based abortion 246.
And that included twenty Democrats voted for -- work to do that.
Not seven Republicans voted.
Against -- -- including Ron Paul.
Ron Paul okay.
Bomb but sitting at two thirds and so gender based abortion is legal in nine states of America.
And valued at such a great job on us and you're talking points memo this weekend.
This is -- stunning -- it is I don't know people of people think this is a pro choice pro life issue this is not.
This is about basic human decency.
And whether we're gonna choose got to go down the road of barbarism.
Or humanity.
And in this case.
The the president's spokesman comes out and says well this what did mr.
require basically that doctors determine the motivation.
Of the women -- going to these clinics or to who going to OBG -- And that's a bald faced lie that is not the the legislation as you pointed out specifically.
Says the doctors have no affirmative obligation -- let.
They create -- let me Hannity and this is why Jay Carney should be very careful in what he says because what he said is Laura and I just pointed out.
It's not true here is the bill.
The bill Lloyd to impose criminal up to five year prison sentences on anyone.
Knowingly.
Performing an abortion that is sought.
Based on sex.
Gender.
Color.
Or race of a child.
-- the -- -- -- -- So they would have to knowingly now I know we know we know.
Okay specifically cars out the issue of an attack -- by saying that doctor does not have an affirmative obligation.
To discern it antennas not on -- that I -- find out if the doctor just comes across the entire nation.
He's exactly but here is very -- is the real atrocity of this.
This law was symbolic because how many people gonna walk and violent abortions I want a -- nobody's gonna do that particularly if the law passed -- do you do it.
So it's basically sending a message as you said what kind of society.
Is a democratic congresswoman.
Go bulletin.
We're going back to the days of port -- coat -- that's what they wanna do they want criminalize doctors because what that says it is.
How do you know that a doctor is engaged in helping a woman on hold because of the particular agenda their feet.
So it's okay with her it's okay with the president it's okay got -- all of these people 168.
Congress people if you abort.
On a gender based decision out.
They they all should be asked individually belt yesterday now do you favor a women having the right or met women men coercing -- Into this procedure.
On the basis of the gender of the child yes or now -- remember bill.
Bill the president famously said during the campaign in 2008 when asked whether it what happened -- one of his daughters got pregnant.
He in famously said I should say I wouldn't want them to get punished with a baby.
This is an extreme position that he holds it it is an extremist position that the left told.
And I predict yes if the Democrats continued good to go down this road where -- changing.
To Planned Parenthood and they were out which by the way sent out a almost a threatening letter on May twenty night.
On this issue to all the congressman so they were put on notice by Planned Parenthood.
They continue to go down this road bill they will continue to see their majorities in states erode because the tide is turning on this abortion issue I'm.
Thank -- -- you know look I don't know that but you could very well be right but here's what I know the Media Research Center looked at the news this week.
On the nightly newscasts and and CNN.
It's here are reporting on this.
Of course nothing.
It's all Latin America so I -- a cop out there I don't wanna look in the mirror sometime unless -- -- -- -- Fox News Channel are listening to -- on the radio or some other radio talk show you don't know anything about this it doesn't exist.
Because the left wing media and Dan rather just said it don't know not us why -- says CBS covered that Dan.
It's a big story of voting congress here gender based abortion.
And you know Lila rose lot of arrows at video you play.
Yeah that's the kind of stuff that you would expect something like sixty minutes to do it used to do decades ago she should win it journalism award for what she's done to expose the truth about that's.
