Making sex selection abortion illegal in the UK

May 30, 2014 by Andrea Mrozek 2 Comments

Sex selection abortion is being made illegal in the UK:

Jeremy Hunt is to issue new guidance making it clear to doctors that sex-selective abortion is “unacceptable and illegal”.

The health secretary and GMC will close what MPs have described as an “utterly preposterous” loophole used by prosecutors to avoid bringing charges.

The guidance is expected to say that doctors who carry out abortions based on the sex of an unborn baby and pre-sign abortion forms are breaking the law.

Abortion clinics will also be required to explicitly recognise that gender-based abortions are illegal as part of their licence conditions.

    See? How hard was that? Enforcing what goes on in clinics, on the other hand, is pretty tricky, because of confidentiality requirements.

    Most people, though, generally will play by the rules. Which is why it is a good idea to have rules in place, so that it is clear what is expected.

    And how will Justin Trudeau respond to this? His position is now more radical than most pro-aborts. I wonder how long he can maintain it.
