As newly revealed evidence from the UK Government suggests for the first time in Government statistics that at least 400 sex-selective abortions have taken place in the UK, the UK’s largest abortion provider, BPAS, has been caught publishing advice telling women that sex-selective abortion is not illegal.
Further details are provided after our comment below.
Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said:
“It’s irresponsible for BPAS to publish advice suggesting that sex-selective abortion is not illegal, because it risks normalising sex-selective abortion and is likely encouraging abortions sought purely because of a baby’s sex.
“It is also likely making it much harder for women to push back when a husband, boyfriend, or other family member is pressuring them into an abortion simply because they are expecting a girl. Women trying to resist that pressure by pointing out that sex-selective abortion is unlawful may be met with the response from coercive third parties that the UK’s largest abortion provider itself says it is not illegal.”
