China has already enacted strict measures aimed at preventing sex-selective abortions, and health authorities also warned in 2018 that the use of abortion to end unwanted pregnancies was harmful to women’s bodies and risked causing infertility.

The state council said the new guidelines, issued on Monday, would aim to improve women’s overall access to pre-pregnancy healthcare services.

I disagree, even the most feminist country wouldn’t find abortions in the name of eugenics as an acceptable thing, and sex selective abortions are basically that but in misogyny terms instead of race and genetics.

There are plenty of reasons why people get abortions that are completely valid, but that doesn’t make every single possible case good.

How exactly can you tell if someone who wants an abortion is getting it for sex-selective reasons?
