Its not so much that he supports abortions based on gender, but that he doesn't want to see the creation of a thought crime. In that way you get someone opposing the ban. I support a person's right to deny the holocaust, but it doesn't mean I am a holocaust denier.

An actor's motivation should never be the only thing separating them from being a criminal. In this case it is much worse than that, because the motivations of another person makes a criminal out of the doctor.

Not agreeing with the legislation as it was written does not make him a supporter of gender selection.

Sig Heil Obama! Shades of the new Fourth Reich are not appearing abundantly. When do the flags, parades and mass oath taking come?

Some people certainly can't read, and also seem to fall off the deep end quickly. Did you or Walter read the article, and more importantly, understand it?

Sure doesn't seem like it.

Another impossible to enforce law. How does one determine why a woman wants an abortion? As has been suggested by some in this thread this is probably more about desperate anti-abortionists trying to find some way to ban abortions that any real concern over gender selection.
