| Subject: Evil: 'We need to know the sex. If it’s a girl we are going to terminate it' Sat Aug 18, 2018 6:40 pm | |
| It is a moment burned into the memory of a veteran sonographer.
A number of years ago, the sonographer was asked by a couple at their scan around 12 weeks to tell them the gender of their developing baby.
“They said something along the lines of ‘We need to know the sex, because if it’s a girl we are going to terminate it’,” they said.
“You have to deal with things like terminal cancer and miscarriages when you’re working as a sonographer. But this occasion, it still sickens me to this day.”
