The Racist Anti-Abortion Bill That's Being Debated On Capitol Hill Today | ThinkProgress

The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act (PRENDA) aims to penalize doctors who attempt to perform an abortion that is motivated by gender discrimination of a fetus. However, PRENDA is less an actual piece of effective legislation and more a way to perpetuate an entirely false trend — the notion that women are having abortions based on the the sex of their fetus. The bill is rooted in the assumption that Asian American women discriminate against daughters, which causes a disproportionate number of abortions of female fetuses.
