As evidence emerges suggesting approximately 400 sex-selective abortions of baby girls happened between 2017 and 2021, Britain’s largest abortion provider continues to claim the practice is not illegal, despite a Government confirmation to the contrary.
The British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS), which in the last financial year performed over 110,000 abortions in the UK, claims on its website that sex-selective abortions are not illegal, sparking wide condemnation.
On its website, BPAS claims: “The law is silent on the [sex-selective abortion] matter. Reason of fetal sex is not a specified ground for abortion within the Abortion Act, but nor is it specifically prohibited.”
