The United Kingdom is on the precipice of decriminalising abortion, a move that will lead to widespread sex-selective abortion practices among certain ethnic groups that prize male children over females.
“Britain’s wicked plan allowing abortions up to the point of birth (no other European nation allows the like) will mean many more sex-selective abortions here,” journalist and opinionator Colin Brazier wrote on X. He noted that the murdering of yet to be born girls is “(p)redominantly ordered by fathers from cultures that prize men above women.”
Brazier was referring to a report by John Power in The Spectator UK that claimed the about-to-be-voted-on measure — a clause buried in the Crime and Policing Bill alongside 1,482 other amendments — will enable sex-selective abortions.
“In June 2025, pro-abortion MPs, led by Tonia Antoniazzi MP, hijacked the Crime and Policing Bill to rush through the abortion up to birth clause (191) after just 46 minutes of backbench debate – there was no prior consultation with the public, no Committee Stage scrutiny and no evidence sessions,” explained Right to Life UK (RTL), a leading voice opposing passage of the legislation.
“The Antoniazzi clause would make it more likely that healthy babies are aborted at home for any reason, up to birth,” RTL said (emphasis added).
“Further liberalising access to abortion will mean more girls being terminated in the womb because of their sex,” Power declared.
“The practice of female infanticide is widespread throughout much of the world, most famously in China — where it dates back more than two millennia — but it also occurs in countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Albania, Vietnam and Georgia,” Power wrote. “There are roughly 140 million fewer women because of sex-selective abortion and infanticide.”
