Rejected petition MAINTAIN THE BAN ON GENDER SELECTIVE ABORTIONS

We the undersigned call upon HM Government to maintain the existing ban on gender selective abortions and tighten penalties for anybody convicted of breaking them.

More details

It is discriminatory and demographically dangerous to alter the gender balance of a society through selective gender abortions.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There are no proposals from the UK Government or Parliament to end the prohibition on sex-selective abortion.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to change.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
