Britain moves to ban sex-selection abortion

This week, Britain moved closer to a ban on abortion on grounds of gender after MPs backed a move to fast-track the prohibition onto the statute book.


The Telegraph reports that more than 70 MPs, "spanning the main parties, have put their names to an amendment to the Government's Serious Crime Bill clarifying Britain's abortion laws to exclude termination on grounds of the unborn baby's sex".
