The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA), is a sex selective abortion Bill proposed by Trent Franks (R-AZ) that would ban doctors from performing abortions based on the sex of a “fetus” which is illegal, so it is not knowingly done by any abortion doctor. Today’s final vote for H.R. 3541 was 246-168. The Bill required a two-thirds majority to pass.
The Bill would protect the nonexistent “civil rights” of a fetus, by banning physicians from performing abortions based on the sex of the fetus. The Bill would target doctors that perform the abortion who could be sued for damages; the woman receiving the abortion would not face any prosecution.
