Sex selection and abortion.

23/02/2012

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Sex selection and abortion.

Can you understand why a woman would abort a baby because of its sex?

Naresh Puri sits in for Nihal and asks if you can understand why a woman would abort a baby because of its sex. Plus get your questions in for property guru Michael Holmes.

At 1, Naresh Puri sits in for Nihal and will be asking - Can you understand why a woman would abort a baby because of its sex?

The Daily Telegraph has secretly filmed doctors at a number of British abortion clinics who were recorded offering to arrange terminations, after being told the women didn't want to continue with the pregnancy because of the sex of the unborn child. This is illegal. 

But within the Asian community do we still have those age old attitudes that a son is worth more than a daughter.? Have you had pressure to abort an unborn baby girl? Or are these attitudes changing? 

At 2, The Guru

Property guru Michael Holmes will be in the studio. He is one of the country's leading property experts and the presenter of Channel 5's 'I Own Britain's Best Home' and he's here to answer all your property related questions. So get in touch if you're just about to build an extension.
