The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists wants people to use sanitized language when discussing the deliberate killing of innocent life.
In a surprise move last week, Republican lawmakers refused to consider a bill proposed by Gov. Kristi Noem which would have banned abortions after about six weeks gestation.
The Henderson County board of commissioners unanimously supported House Bill 31, which would outlaw abortion within the state after the detection of cardiac activity in an unborn child.
'If red states ban abortion, we could see a world where they have five times as many children with Down syndrome, and similar numbers for other disabilities...There are already negative stereotypes of Americans in these states. One can imagine it getting much more extreme. What if they also ban genetic engineering and embryo selection, while other places go ahead?'
