AUSTIN - In response to Governor Rick Perry adding the issue
of abortion to the call of the special session today, Representative Allen
Fletcher (Tomball/Cy-Fair) filed House Bill 55, prohibiting sex-selective
abortions.
"It is not disputed that the horrifying practice of
sex-selective abortion occurs in the world, most notably in countries where
institutional and cultural biases encourage it," Rep. Fletcher said.
"When I originally filed this legislation, some questioned whether this is
actually an issue in Texas. Unfortunately, the evidence strongly suggests that
sex-selective abortions do occur in this country. This is further supported by
the fact that certain groups are actively trying to prevent similar legislation
from being enforced in other states, such as Arizona."
"The United States has become a safe haven for those
seeking legal sex-selective abortions. In countries where the practice is far
more prevalent, governments have made it illegal. In contrast, sex-selective
abortions are completely legal at the federal level. Texas should join with
other states in prohibiting this practice," Rep. Fletcher said.
"The sad reality is that the targeted victims of this
horrifying practice are overwhelmingly female. I think that both sides of the
aisle can come together in agreement that terminating a pregnancy because an
unborn child is the wrong gender is indefensible. H.B. 55 would prevent
prenatal discrimination leading to abortion based on the sex of an unborn
child."
