UK: MPs overwhelmingly vote for motion to ban sex-selective abortion

Debate's not over yet, but there's almost no chance this won't pass. Unlike in the US...

MPs have voted overwhelmingly in favour of a motion declaring that sex-selection abortion is illegal.
They voted 181 to 1 for a motion brought forward by a cross-party alliance of MPs in an effort to end uncertainty over whether doctors can be prosecuted for the practice. It will now have a second reading in January.
Confusion over the law was exposed last year by the decision of the then Director of Public Prosecutions, Sir Keir Starmer, not to bring charges against two doctors caught on camera agreeing to arrange abortions of baby girls purely because of their sex, in a Telegraph investigation.

What about sex selection killing of your wife?

The China syndrome on selective abortions. That one clown voting for it needs to be neutered just for emphasis sake on his/her part.

It's "sinister and wrong" to ban it

I've always been intrigued by sex selective IVF.

Interesting...
All abortions are "sex-selective" in the sense that either an unborn male or an unborn female will be terminated.
The only difference is what the mother is thinking when she makes the decision to have an abortion.
Legislating morality?

If your pro choice how could you be against this?

"The British Medical Association hold yet anther interpretation. They argue that having a child of a particular gender may be a legal and ethical justification for an abortion on the basis that the sex of the child may severely affect the pregnant woman's mental health."
Some campaigners say that the abortion act must protect women who are under often violent pressure from partners to have a male child.
Mrs Bruce added: "I find it deplorable that anyone would be satisfied to provide a sex selective abortion to a woman who after she has had it is then sent afterwards back to an abusive partner. what needs to be addressed in these dire circumstances is the abuse itself. That is one of the aims of this bill."
Not the US, but what is the justification for this? Is there not a right to abortion in the UK?
Maybe it's just my US/Roe V Wade frame of mind, but if you have a privacy-based right to abortion (in other words, "it's my body leave me the hell alone") how can you justify outlawing selective sex abortions?
The left needs to figure this out, before gay abortions become widespread.
