'I aborted after they told me it was a girl'

An investigation by the Victoria Derbyshire programme has found that British women are using a blood test called NIPT to find out the sex of their child just just weeks into a pregnancy.

And some of those women are using that information to then have a sex-selective abortion.

It has prompted calls from Labour for a blanket ban on the sex of a foetus being revealed this early, given the pressures on women in some communities including the British south-Asian community to give birth to boys.

Amber Haque has this exclusive report, which contains flashing images at the very start.
