And I think the <em>Daily Telegraph<\/em> is to be commended for the campaign and the work that they have done to highlight this important case. But in our country we do have independent prosecuting authorities. It&#8217;s very importance that they look at the evidence and they make a decision on the basis of likelihood of getting a conviction and the public interest in making a case and taking it to court. That&#8217;s how things have to work in our country, but I share her concern about what we&#8217;ve read and what has happened and it&#8217;s absolutely right that professional action should be considered as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a video released by the Christian Institute, Britain&#8217;s Prime Minister David Cameron was asked for his response to government-sanctioned sex-selection abortions\u00a0of pre-born females\u00a0in his country.
