China Worried About Abortion Rate
From a China Daily report (h/t WSJ):
At least 13 million abortions take place each year in China, compared to 20 million births.
A report in the China Daily notes the high rate of abortion and flags it as a cause for concern in a rare critique of the prevalence of abortion in China, where it is taken granted and often serves as a last resort for complying with China’s one-child policy while also contributing to a widening gender imbalance.
According to a recent study, a lack of sex education plays a key role in driving up the number of abortions.
Here’s a wacky idea. How about taking some of the money spent on the porn police (online and otherwise) and putting it towards sex education?
Just a thought.
