In any country where there is abortion on demand.
The law does not allow it being ‘on demand’ beyond 24 weeks unless there is risk of grave physical or mental injury or if the foetus has a disability.
Gender is known well before 24 weeks. It's known soon enough to abort an undesired gender during the first trimester.
I have to be fair Maddog is right gender is known before 24 weeks and there are instances where couples have told their doctors gender selection as the reason for termination.
Here is an instance where a doctor gives an account
https://bcmj.org/blog/memory-lane-my-ex ... -abortionsRights will always be abused. Free speech is used to enflame passions and incite violence, Maddog's precious Second Amendment rights are more often used to abuse families than they are to defend them and when all of Maddog's 6th Jan friends try to have their trials for lesser crimes in sympathetic courts it will be an abuse of Fifth Amendment rules on Double Jeopardy.
When asked if the government should take away Second Amendment rights away because some men abuse them he takes a very different position to the one he adopts when asked if the state can take away 14th Amendment Rights for women.
There is a difference of course - the loss of 14th Amendment Rights is far more deadly.
Those folks on Jan 6, are nor my friends, nor have I ever said I supported them.
I never voted for Trump, nor supported him.
You live in a simplistic world where It's not possible to support neither you, Trump, AOC, Sanders or McConnell.
As for the rights defined by the 2nd and 14th, you would have a point id the 14 the stated as such.....................
Well protected women, being necessary to the freedom of women, the right of women to receive an abortion, shall not be infringed.The only part of the constitution that addresses abortion is the 10th which states.....................
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.Therefore, the abortion issue will be resolved where the 10th says it should, in places like Austin, Albany, Harrisburg and Sacramento.
