It doesn't matter if you think China is too populated or not. The one child policy leads to more boys than girls since they are preferred and to sex trafficking of girls from surrounding countries. Hear other tapes from the organization.
Will our country go the way of China? Aren't we on the way already?
The exception to the otherwise general permissibility of abortion in China is that the practice of pre-natal sex determination and sex-selective abortions for non-medical reasons are illegal. It is argued that sex-selective abortion continues to be one of the key factors in the notably imbalanced sex-ratio in China, as the imbalance cannot be explained solely by the underreporting of female births or by excess female infant mortality. In 2001, 117 boys were born to every 100 girls. These trends are explained by the persistence of a preference for sons in Chinese families.
In 2005, the government began an Action Plan consisting of ten policies with the aim of normalising the sex ratio of newborns by 2010. Under this plan, sex-selective abortion was outlawed, as was prenatal sex diagnosis, and harsher punishments were implemented for violating both. Other policies include controlling the marketing of ultrasonic B machines and improving the systems used by medical and Family Planning organisations to report on births, abortions and pregnancies.
Perhaps if you spent time researching before you post your drivel, you will see that abortion is in no way the evil you make it out to be.
