NEW DELHI (AP) - An Indian court sentenced a doctor to two years in prison for using ultrasound tests to determine the sex of fetuses, the first physician convicted for flouting a law designed to end an epidemic of parents aborting female fetuses, officials said Wednesday.
Radiologist Anil Sabsani told a pregnant undercover investigator that she was carrying a female fetus, but it could be "taken care of," officials said.
Indian families often see girls as burdens, and gender tests and abortions have led to a skewed ratio of males to females.
