Gender Selection Termination
EDM number 1113 in 2016-17, proposed by Jim Shannon on 28/03/2017.
Categorised under the topics of Health services and Medical ethics.
That this House expresses deep concern about the call for gender selection termination as raised by a member of the British Medical Association Medical Ethics Committee; reiterates that gender selection termination is entirely unacceptable within the UK and further underlines the inherent belief in the UK of the sanctity of life and the right to life and the fact that any attempt to introduce a further relaxation of abortion laws in the UK will be met with robust opposition in the House.
This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
