Surprised we haven't covered the Telegraph's recent expose yet.

This is scandalous.
Reading between the lines, because they don't explicitly say it, this seems to be a phenomenon that is more prevalent with certain ethnic groups.
Have to ask the question though, why is this more morally repugnant than the case of a woman who doesn't want the child just because, say, it's going to get in the way of her career?
One is legal and the other isn't. I can see a practical reason for the former being illegal as the male- female ratio in our population could become skewed, but the moral one?
For the record, I understand the case for legal abortion - to put an end to backstreet abortionists being the main one but I'm afraid it's an issue I really struggle with and certainly can't tow the pc line when discussing it.
