1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Prenatal Non5 discrimination Act (PRENDA) of 2012’’. 

6 SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY. 

7 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following 

8 findings: 

9 (1) SEX DISCRIMINATION FINDINGS.— 

10 (A) Women are a vital part of American so11 ciety and culture and possess the same funda12 mental human rights and civil rights as men. 

13 (B) United States law prohibits the dis14 similar treatment of males and females who are 

15 similarly situated and prohibits sex discrimina16 tion in various contexts, including the provision 

17 of employment, education, housing, health insur18 ance coverage, and athletics. 

19 (C) Sex is an immutable characteristic as20 certainable at the earliest stages of human devel21 opment through existing medical technology and 

22 procedures commonly in use, including mater23 nal-fetal bloodstream DNA sampling, 

24 amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling or 

25 ‘‘CVS’’, and obstetric ultrasound. In addition to

•HR 3541 RH

1 medically assisted sex-determination, a growing 

2 sex-determination niche industry has developed 

3 and is marketing low-cost commercial products, 

4 widely advertised and available, that aid in the 

5 sex determination of an unborn child without the 

6 aid of medical professionals. Experts have dem7 onstrated that the sex-selection industry is on the 

8 rise and predict that it will continue to be a 

9 growing trend in the United States. Sex deter10 mination is always a necessary step to the pro11 curement of a sex-selection abortion. 

12 (D) A ‘‘sex-selection abortion’’ is an abor13 tion undertaken for purposes of eliminating an 

14 unborn child of an undesired sex. Sex-selection 

15 abortion is barbaric, and described by scholars 

16 and civil rights advocates as an act of sex-based 

17 or gender-based violence, predicated on sex dis18 crimination. Sex-selection abortions are typi19 cally late-term abortions performed in the 2nd or 

20 3rd trimester of pregnancy, after the unborn 

21 child has developed sufficiently to feel pain. Sub22 stantial medical evidence proves that an unborn 

23 child can experience pain at 20 weeks after con24 ception, and perhaps substantially earlier. By 

25 definition, sex-selection abortions do not impliVerDate Mar 15 2010 20:55 May 29, 2012 Jkt 019200 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6203 E:\BILLS\H3541.RH H3541

1 cate the health of the mother of the unborn, but 

2 instead are elective procedures motivated by sex 

3 or gender bias. 

4 (E) The targeted victims of sex-selection 

5 abortions performed in the United States and 

6 worldwide are overwhelmingly female. The selec7 tive abortion of females is female infanticide, the 

8 intentional killing of unborn females, due to the 

9 preference for male offspring or ‘‘son preference’’. 

10 Son preference is reinforced by the low value as11 sociated, by some segments of the world commu12 nity, with female offspring. Those segments tend 

13 to regard female offspring as financial burdens 

14 to a family over their lifetime due to their per15 ceived inability to earn or provide financially 

16 for the family unit as can a male. In addition, 

17 due to social and legal convention, female off18 spring are less likely to carry on the family 

19 name. ‘‘Son preference’’ is one of the most evi20 dent manifestations of sex or gender discrimina21 tion in any society, undermining female equal22 ity, and fueling the elimination of females’ right 

23 to exist in instances of sex-selection abortion. 

24 (F) Sex-selection abortions are not expressly 

25 prohibited by United States law or the laws of

1 47 States. Sex-selection abortions are performed 

2 in the United States. In a March 2008 report 

3 published in the Proceedings of the National 

4 Academy of Sciences, Columbia University 

5 economists Douglas Almond and Lena Edlund 

6 examined the sex ratio of United States-born 

7 children and found ‘‘evidence of sex selection, 

8 most likely at the prenatal stage’’. The data re9 vealed obvious ‘‘son preference’’ in the form of 

10 unnatural sex-ratio imbalances within certain 

11 segments of the United States population, pri12 marily those segments tracing their ethnic or 

13 cultural origins to countries where sex-selection 

14 abortion is prevalent. The evidence strongly sug15 gests that some Americans are exercising sex-se16 lection abortion practices within the United 

17 States consistent with discriminatory practices 

18 common to their country of origin, or the coun19 try to which they trace their ancestry. While sex20 selection abortions are more common outside the 

21 United States, the evidence reveals that female 

22 feticide is also occurring in the United States.

•HR 3541 RH

1 cans agreed that sex-selection abortion should be 

2 illegal, yet only 3 States proscribe sex-selection 

3 abortion. 

4 (H) Despite the failure of the United States 

5 to proscribe sex-selection abortion, the United 

6 States Congress has expressed repeatedly, through 

7 Congressional resolution, strong condemnation of 

8 policies promoting sex-selection abortion in the 

9 ‘‘Communist Government of China’’. Likewise, at 

10 the 2007 United Nation’s Annual Meeting of the 

11 Commission on the Status of Women, 51st Ses12 sion, the United States delegation spearheaded a 

13 resolution calling on countries to condemn sex-se14 lective abortion, a policy directly contradictory 

15 to the permissiveness of current United States 

16 law, which places no restriction on the practice 

17 of sex-selection abortion. The United Nations 

18 Commission on the Status of Women has urged 

19 governments of all nations ‘‘to take necessary 

20 measures to prevent . . . prenatal sex selection’’. 

21 (I) A 1990 report by Harvard University 

22 economist Amartya Sen, estimated that more 

23 than 100 million women were ‘‘demographically 

24 missing’’ from the world as early as 1990 due to 

25 sexist practices, including sex-selection abortion. 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•HR 3541 RH

1 Many experts believe sex-selection abortion is the 

2 primary cause. Current estimates of women 

3 missing from the world range in the hundreds of 

4 millions. 

5 (J) Countries with longstanding experience 

6 with sex-selection abortion—such as the Republic 

7 of India, the United Kingdom, and the People’s 

8 Republic of China—have enacted restrictions on 

9 sex-selection, and have steadily continued to 

10 strengthen prohibitions and penalties. The 

11 United States, by contrast, has no law in place 

12 to restrict sex-selection abortion, establishing the 

13 United States as affording less protection from 

14 sex-based feticide than the Republic of India or 

15 the People’s Republic of China, whose recent 

16 practices of sex-selection abortion were vehe17 mently and repeatedly condemned by United 

18 States congressional resolutions and by the 

19 United States Ambassador to the Commission on 

20 the Status of Women. Public statements from 

21 within the medical community reveal that citi22 zens of other countries come to the United States 

23 for sex-selection procedures that would be crimi24 nal in their country of origin. Because the 

25 United States permits abortion on the basis of 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•HR 3541 RH

1 sex, the United States may effectively function as 

2 a ‘‘safe haven’’ for those who seek to have Amer3 ican physicians do what would otherwise be 

4 criminal in their home countries—a sex-selection 

5 abortion, most likely late-term. 

6 (K) The American medical community op7 poses sex-selection. The American Congress of 

8 Obstetricians and Gynecologists, commonly 

9 known as ‘‘ACOG,’’ stated in its 2007 Ethics 

10 Committee Opinion, Number 360, that sex-selec11 tion is inappropriate because it ‘‘ultimately sup12 ports sexist practices.’’ The American Society of 

13 Reproductive Medicine ( commonly known as 

14 ‘‘ASRM’’ ) 2004 Ethics Committee Opinion on 

15 sex-selection notes that central to the controversy 

16 of sex-selection is the potential for ‘‘inherent gen17 der discrimination’’, . . .the ‘‘risk of psycho18 logical harm to sex-selected offspring (i.e., by 

19 placing on them expectations that are too 

20 high),’’. . . and ‘‘reinforcement of gender bias in 

21 society as a whole.’’ Embryo sex-selection, ASRM 

22 notes, remains ‘‘vulnerable to the judgment that 

23 no matter what its basis, [the method] identifies 

24 gender as a reason to value one person over an25 other, and it supports socially constructed stereoVerDate Mar 15 2010 20:55 May 29, 2012 Jkt 019200 PO 00000 Frm 00009 Fmt 6652 Sfmt 6203 E:\BILLS\H3541.RH H3541

1 types of what gender means.’’ In doing so, it not 

2 only ‘‘reinforces possibilities of unfair discrimi3 nation, but may trivialize human reproduction 

4 by making it depend on the selection of non5 essential features of offspring.’’ The ASRM ethics 

6 opinion continues, ‘‘ongoing problems with the 

7 status of women in the United States make it 

8 necessary to take account of concerns for the im9 pact of sex-selection on goals of gender equality.’’ 

10 The American Association of Pro-Life Obstetri11 cians and Gynecologists, an organization with 

12 hundreds of members - many of whom are former 

13 abortionists - makes the following declaration: 

14 ‘‘Sex selection abortions are more graphic exam15 ples of the damage that abortion inflicts on 

16 women. In addition to increasing premature 

17 labor in subsequent pregnancies, increasing sui18 cide and major depression, and increasing the 

19 risk of breast cancer in teens who abort their 

20 first pregnancy and delay childbearing, sex selec21 tion abortions are often targeted at fetuses sim22 ply because the fetus is female. As physicians 

23 who care for both the mother and her unborn 

24 child, the American Association of Pro-Life Ob25 stetricians and Gynecologists vigorously opposes 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS

•HR 3541 RH

1 aborting fetuses because of their gender.’’ The 

2 President’s Council on Bioethics published a 

3 Working Paper stating the council’s belief that 

4 society’s respect for reproductive freedom does 

5 not prohibit the regulation or prohibition of ‘‘sex 

6 control,’’ defined as the use of various medical 

7 technologies to choose the sex of one’s child. The 

8 publication expresses concern that ‘‘sex control 

9 might lead to . . .dehumanization and a new eu10 genics.’’ 

11 (L) Sex-selection abortion results in an un12 natural sex-ratio imbalance. An unnatural sex13 ratio imbalance is undesirable, due to the inabil14 ity of the numerically predominant sex to find 

15 mates. Experts worldwide document that a sig16 nificant sex-ratio imbalance in which males nu17 merically predominate can be a cause of in18 creased violence and militancy within a society. 

19 Likewise, an unnatural sex-ratio imbalance gives 

20 rise to the commoditization of humans in the 

21 form of human trafficking, and a consequent in22 crease in kidnapping and other violent crime. 

23 (M) Sex-selection abortions have the effect of 

24 diminishing the representation of women in the 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS
12 

•HR 3541 RH

1 American population, and therefore, the Amer2 ican electorate. 

3 (N) Sex-selection abortion reinforces sex dis4 crimination and has no place in a civilized soci5 ety. 

6 (2) RACIAL DISCRIMINATION FINDINGS.— 

7 (A) Minorities are a vital part of American 

8 society and culture and possess the same funda9 mental human rights and civil rights as the ma10 jority. 

11 (B) United States law prohibits the dis12 similar treatment of persons of different races 

13 who are similarly situated. United States law 

14 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race in 

15 various contexts, including the provision of em16 ployment, education, housing, health insurance 

17 coverage, and athletics. 

18 (C) A ‘‘race-selection abortion’’ is an abor19 tion performed for purposes of eliminating an 

20 unborn child because the child or a parent of the 

21 child is of an undesired race. Race-selection 

22 abortion is barbaric, and described by civil 

23 rights advocates as an act of race-based violence, 

24 predicated on race discrimination. By definition, 

25 race-selection abortions do not implicate the 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS
13 

•HR 3541 RH

1 health of mother of the unborn, but instead are 

2 elective procedures motivated by race bias. 

3 (D) Only one State, Arizona, has enacted 

4 law to proscribe the performance of race-selection 

5 abortions. 

6 (E) Race-selection abortions have the effect 

7 of diminishing the number of minorities in the 

8 American population and therefore, the Amer9 ican electorate. 

10 (F) Race-selection abortion reinforces racial 

11 discrimination and has no place in a civilized 

12 society. 

13 (3) GENERAL FINDINGS.— 

14 (A) The history of the United States in15 cludes examples of both sex discrimination and 

16 race discrimination. The people of the United 

17 States ultimately responded in the strongest pos18 sible legal terms by enacting constitutional 

19 amendments correcting elements of such dis20 crimination. Women, once subjected to sex dis21 crimination that denied them the right to vote, 

22 now have suffrage guaranteed by the 19th 

23 amendment. African-Americans, once subjected 

24 to race discrimination through slavery that de25 nied them equal protection of the laws, now have 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with BILLS
14 

•HR 3541 RH

1 that right guaranteed by the 14th amendment. 

2 The elimination of discriminatory practices has 

3 been and is among the highest priorities and 

4 greatest achievements of American history. 

5 (B) Implicitly approving the discrimina6 tory practices of sex-selection abortion and race7 selection abortion by choosing not to prohibit 

8 them will reinforce these inherently discrimina9 tory practices, and evidence a failure to protect 

10 a segment of certain unborn Americans because 

11 those unborn are of a sex or racial makeup that 

12 is disfavored. Sex-selection and race-selection 

13 abortions trivialize the value of the unborn on 

14 the basis of sex or race, reinforcing sex and race 

15 discrimination, and coarsening society to the hu16 manity of all vulnerable and innocent human 

17 life, making it increasingly difficult to protect 

18 such life. Thus, Congress has a compelling inter19 est in acting—indeed it must act—to prohibit 

20 sex-selection abortion and race-selection abortion. 

21 (b) CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY.—In accordance 

22 with the above findings, Congress enacts the following pur23 suant to Congress’ power under— 

24 (1) the Commerce Clause; 

25 (2) section 2 of the 13th amendment;

2 the power to enforce the prohibition on government 

3 action denying equal protection of the laws; and 

4 (4) section 8 of article I to make all laws nec5 essary and proper for the carrying into execution of 

6 powers vested by the Constitution in the Government 

7 of the United States.
