That would need to be a pretty tough law, because there would be a lot of pressure on the doc, and not just from people that want to abort. I even wonder if it's legal to withold medical information from a patient.
Also, it's a lot cheaper to just cross the border for an ultrasound than for the abortion itself. Or, vice versa, they can just cross the border to get the abortion.
No easy answer here. Maybe the best is that it's not really that common a practice, and as the immigrants integrate they'll quit doing it.
I think there is a law in BC. A princpile, at least. Our ultrasound tech wouldn't tell us the sex of the baby--against teh rules he said. But for our second child, the tech did tell us (whne we asked).
Kind of pointless, because if you really care to the point of abortion, you can just go down to Washington state to get an ultrasound and find out the sex.
