UK to probe abortions carried out 'on grounds of gender selection'

Britain's Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has written to the British Government’s senior law officer for “urgent clarification” why two doctors accused of arranging abortions based on the sex of an unborn baby will not face prosecution.

Mr Hunt said abortion on the grounds of gender selection was “against the law and completely unacceptable” and had written to Attorney General Dominic Grieve about the decision.
