t one child, and everyone wanted a boy. So, if a girl was born she quite often had her head summarily smashed against a brick wall. The difference between that practice and sex-selective abortion is one only of degree. It seems to me then that this is a black and white issue, with no shades of gray. Obviously though, these Republicans, certainly they who voted and not absented themselves, disagreed.

I'll guess that Ron Paul, and maybe others objected, on stark Libertarian grounds, that the Feds have no bidness dictating to states. However, the practice is nominally performed under the Roe v. Wade umbrella, so that's a specious, not to mention heinous, argument.

THE HILL article reports seven Republicans joined with Democrats in voting no, so I may have missed one.
