Archbishop Peter Smith of Southwark joined his voice to those expressing concern that the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to prosecute two doctors who agreed to perform abortions based on sex selection.
In a statement Tuesday, the vice president of the bishops’ conference of England and Wales responded to the CPS decision, handed down last week.
“Many people are rightly very concerned about the CPS decision not to prosecute in the case of the doctors who were willing to conduct abortion as a means of gender selection, and I welcome the intervention of the Health Secretary,” he said.

Chesterton
Which makes me both insane and sane, at the same time. That might be the closest I get to being able to bilocate.
When will we stop coming up with excuses for killing the unborn (and the elderly)? How will we truly encourage the dignity of human persons of both sexes if we allow babies to be killed simply because they are the wrong sex? When will this insanity stop?
