Ms Hubert is pursuing a private prosecution against two doctors who offered sex-selective abortions

The Christian Legal Centre is backing a legal bid by a young pro-life activist against the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

Aisling Hubert instructed solicitors to bring action after it was announced that the CPS would not press charges against two medics who were filmed by undercover journalists, agreeing to abort babies because they were girls.

Andrew Minichello Williams, director of the Christian Legal Centre said: "The Director of Public Prosecutions has refused to enforce the law and this sends the wrong message to the medical world. This case shines a spotlight on this grave injustice against women." [Telegraph, 24 October]
