>> well, a debate that will probably not succeed in the house. the reason is what goes on in the house, the democrats in the white house will oppose this. you have to ask how could a feminist oppose this legislation? after all, gender selection is the ultimate in gender discrimination. it's the killing of a female. it's almost always a female. inout row. you expect a huge protest. here i believe it's a small issue. but this is a huge issue in india and china done on a mass scale. ratio is 105 female children to boys in china and india it's 1101, 15, which which creates huge social imbalance, unjust with the sexes. why would a feminist oppose it? the reason is because of our odd poll lic politic and supremt ruling to have debate on abortion. we have to have debate on periphery. liberal ospose this because they are afraid it's a crack in door to been a this restriction on abortion. there will be other restrictions as well. a debate to put people in hypocritical position. >> bret: two sides on the debate as it continueed on the house floor today. >> the people of this country are overwhelmingly for this bill. liberals have to make up their mind if they're so committed that they think it includes killing little girls because they're little girls. >> don't get me wrong. of course we're opposed to sex selection based on gender. that is not what this is about. this is about women's healthcare and gender discrimination. >> bret: i guess the question is how big a deal is this? is this, as charles mentioned, avenue to get at the abortion issue overall? >> there is a lot of very interesting abortion-related legislation. popping up around the country, the last 18 months. i'll always an effort to chip away on both sides. what is problematic, legally this is problematic. i don't know how it can be enforced. i don't know how it doesn't infringe on the doctor-patient confidentiality. i don't know how this video, the disturbing video which didn't seem like it was an irregular event at planned parenthood. i'm sure the woman has been fired but she did not cite any manual saying we don't do this or anything. if this is happening, this is obviously horrid. but it is not conclusive. how will a doctor, women will never be punished, only doctors. how will an abortion provider will determine if sex selection is reason of termination of the pregnancy in that makes it hard. other problem politically the republicans who introduce this, have race language put in the original bill, they have since taken out. congressman franks said upon interaction with the bill, minority babies are five times more likely to be aborted than white baby. this allows the democrats to portray this as an effort of republicans to take away the right to choose from african-american women and right to doctor-patient confidentiality as well. >> bret: steve? >> a.b. hit on a key point in the statement. they talk about unusual patient encounters and they say they condemn this practice of sex selective abortion. but the same time, their policy is provide nonjudgmental advice and counsel to people who come in. so they don't actually dition courage this in any -- don't discourage this in any way. you saw the wheezzy language in the statement. group like planned parenthood continuing to give people this kind of advice. somebody like barbara lee on the floor of the white house, two i argue maybe the further left member of the house of representatives. refusing to support this. show it's a tough sell. >> bret: that is it for the panel. stay tuned for latest developn't from the arab spring. hese friends swapped their imports for a ford. the escape definitely fits my lifestyle. it is 28 miles a gallon. that's pretty awesome. park assist?
