A MELBOURNE doctor has blown the whistle on parents who demanded an abortion - because they didn't want a girl.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Herald Sun, Dr Mark Hobart revealed a Melbourne couple had asked him to refer them to an abortion clinic after discovering at 19 weeks they were having a girl, when they wanted a boy. Despite being refused a referral by Dr Hobart, the woman had an abortion a few days later.

The Medical Board told Dr Hobart on Friday it would not pursue the matter because Victorian doctors are allowed to terminate pregnancies of up to 24 weeks.
One of Melbourne's biggest abortion clinics has revealed that couples have requested abortions on gender grounds - although it is "extremely rare" and always refused.
