"Pro-life advocates are expressing outrage at an announcement last Monday by the UK's Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that states physicians are now free to carry out sex selection abortions. Up until this point, abortions based solely on the sex of an unborn child were widely considered illegal in the UK. Keir Starmer QC, Director of Public Prosecutions, issued a statement regarding reasons why authorities decided not to prosecute two abortionists caught in an undercover sting agreeing to sex selection abortions. ... Starmer said that guidance for doctors should be updated amid widespread concern over practices in abortion clinics that do not appear to be illegal. ... In February of 2012, the Telegraph reported that, despite the fact that sex selection abortion is illegal in Britain, doctors were found to be agreeing to terminate a pregnancy solely on the basis of the sex of the unborn child. Telegraph reporters accompanied pregnant women to nine abortion clinics throughout the country. In three of these facilities, doctors were recorded 'offering to arrange terminations after being told the mother-to-be did not want to go ahead with the pregnancy because of the sex of the unborn child.'"
