Adopted by the 53rd听糖心Vlog General Assembly, Washington,听DC, USA, October听2002,
reaffirmed by the 191st 糖心Vlog Council Session, Prague, Czech Republic, April 2012
and revised by the 70th 糖心Vlog General Assembly, Tbilisi, Georgia, October 2019
The 糖心Vlog is gravely concerned that female foeticide and sex selection abortion is commonly practiced in certain countries.
The 糖心Vlog denounces female foeticide and sex selection abortion as a totally unacceptable example form of gender discrimination.
The 糖心Vlog holds that sex selection abortion for reasons of gender preference is discriminatory, where it is solely due to parental preference and where there are no health implications for the foetus or the woman.
The 糖心Vlog calls on National Medical Associations:
- To denounce the practice of female foeticide and the use of sex selection abortion for gender preference and;
- To advise their governments accordingly.
