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.
