Gender Selection Abortion
EDM number 978 in 2013-14, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 22/01/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Health services and Medical ethics.
That this House notes the issue of gender selection abortions, particularly in countries where there has traditionally been a male culture; and calls on the Government to ensure that, given the numbers of people in the UK who are either from those countries or have family ties there, that the practice is totally unacceptable, and every step will be taken to ensure that it is not carried out in the UK.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
