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.
And just how will they enforce this? If you can have abortion for any reason just don’t tell the doctor why you are doing it.
And of course they will be very stern about couples who rush for an abortion because they don’t like the prenatal blood test reports.
If they believe that the fetus is not a human being, what difference does it make?
