Abortion loophole

Discussion on AL’s wall:

5 October 2013
A doctor risks being deregistered because he allegedly refused a referral for an Indian couple who wanted to abort a healthy unborn baby girl at 19 weeks, simply because they wanted a boy.

There exists a loophole in Victorian law. We do not allow sex selection during IVF, but then we allow sex selection after implantation. Countries such as China where sex selection is more common face growing social problems due to gender imbalance.
