The abortion of unwanted girls taking place in the UK

[joebloggs]

my wife i don't think will take part in any abortion, I remember a survey of doctors and i think the vast majority didn't want to take part in an abortion unless it was for medical reasons. after all they take an oath to preserve life.

The Government was on Thursday night urged to open an inquiry after officials found signs that birth rates for girls and boys vary noticeably according to where their mothers were born.

...
in 2010 there were 189,574 terminations in England and Wales, an eight per cent increase in the past decade.

termination only because they want a boy and not a girl

A study by Oxford University academics has previously found evidence that suggested Indian women giving birth in Britain were terminating more female than male unborn babies between 1990 and 2005.

In Canada, Dr Rajendra Kale, the editor of a medical journal, last year called for doctors to withhold the sex of unborn babies from their mothers until 30 weeks into pregnancy to stop “female feticide”.

He cited a study suggesting “evidence of a clear son preference among south-east Asian immigrants to Canada”, with male-biased birth ratios among Chinese, Korean and Indian parents.

I remember 20 years ago they wouldn't tell you the sex of the child before birth because there was talk of certain communities aborting girls. Perhaps we should return to this .
