Members from all corners of the government were outraged by the decision.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Some politicians are <a href=\"\/news\/britains-pm-responds-concerns-regarding-unpunished-sex-selection-abortions-u-k\/\">concerned<\/a> that the decision places the U.K. on par with countries like China and India, where strong anti-girl preferences have lead to overwhelming epidemics of <a href=\"\/news\/family-planning-laws-a-cause-of-struggle-for-chinese-women\/\">sex-selection abortion, abandonment, and infanticide<\/a> of baby girls, as well as lopsided demographics. One well-known female abortionist in the U.K. scored many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2424111\/You-CAN-abort-baby-sex-Outrage-comments-boss-Britains-biggest-terminations-clinic.html\">shocked headlines<\/a> following the non-prosecution incident with her statement that a woman&#8217;s so-called &#8220;right&#8221; to abort baby girls because they&#8217;re female is in-line with the U.K.&#8217;s Abortion Act of 1967.<\/p>\n<p>Ditum, who shares the abortionist&#8217;s views, backed her argument that it is within a &#8220;woman&#8217;s rights&#8221; to choose to abort a tiny woman inside of her (and not a contradiction of feminist values), because, actually, the fetus is only\u00a0<em>liable to become\u00a0<\/em>a female. Never mind the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK9967\/\">long-standing biological fact<\/a> that the sex of a pre-born child is determined by the male gamete contribution (which itself establishes a girl or boy&#8217;s sex at the moment sperm and egg meet). Science is just so darn inconvenient sometimes, especially for individuals like Ms. Ditum, who believe that some women should be allowed to kill other women who are smaller-than and dependent-upon them for life. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s all about what the bigger, older women\u00a0<em>want,<\/em>\u00a0according to Ditum, who said this (emphasis added):<em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;<strong>it doesn&#8217;t matter<\/strong> whether what&#8217;s growing inside you <strong>is liable to end up as a man or a woman<\/strong>.
