Abortions for sex selection are just the tip of a large iceberg of illegal activity | NRL News Today: It is a common misconception that abortion is legal in Britain. In fact it remains illegal under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861 and doctors are only exempted from prosecution if they follow a strict set of guidelines as laid down in the Abortion Act 1967.
But the government, the medical profession and the police have consistently turned a blind eye over many years to practice at or beyond the edge of the law. The present cases raise again the question of just how many illegal abortions are being carried out in Britain.
