Chinese Government Breaks Up Gang Offering Sex-Selective Abortions



        

The Chinese Ministry of Health recently reported the arrest of a gang running an illegal service enabling women to receive sex-selective abortions, according to a Reuters article.

The group operated by sending women from throughout the country to the central city of Zhengzou to have their unborn child’s sex determined so that those of an undesired gender (usually female) could be aborted.

The ministry stated, “This went on for a long time, covering a wide area and involved many people. It was malicious, had serious results and was a great threat to society.” They went on to say that this is a widespread problem in the country.
