The Lyrics

Good news, folks! Congress just voted down gender based ab......, wait...we shouldn't use the "a" word. What are we calling it now? Women's health? Reproductive freedom? Wart removal? Anyway, planned Parenthood is all for it. Don't like what the ultrasound shows? Do-over!
You got the verdict from the gyno,
Can’t call the baby Jack
Little package from Heaven
Just send that junk mail back

The vote supports it:
You pick the gender, A Jim or Joan
Just like China, they condone
You’ll make another, with caveat
Got a new reason to send fifty more million back

So if the x-ray shows a male crotch
And you’re not tickled pink
Give the doctor some story
But don’t forget to wink

You can coupon it:
Discern the gender, a dress or suit
Pick your person, it’s not rude

Some people think that triplets are swell
But maybe that’s not the plan
Then you can keep one and terminate two
Congress understands-they voted for it

You pick the gender, a hole or pole
They just call it, birth control

You pick the gender
Return to Maker
Goddamn Amercia
Ok, we all know the vote would have been symbolic. No doctors would be prosecuted. Hush is the word. Would've been nice though if Congress took a stand against gender based wart removal. (About the last line in the parody: the Romney campaign is actually brilliant! No Typo, that. We no longer live in America. Amercia is our new country. Welcome to the land of Godless, hedonistic socialism.)

Regarding your top comment, it should read, congress voted down a ban on gender based abortion.

Now this is a cruel one. Gender-based abortions are the most deprave and vile form of birth control there is, and the sad result of the gendericide are beginning to show up in China. 555.

Thanks for the correction and comment. China has a gender imbalance of almost 118 males for every 100 females born. Down from a high of almost 121 to 100 in 2008. China says they are taking steps to reverse it, which is scary in itself.
