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.
All the replies show is that the article included biased language and framing, not factual inaccuracies.
And someone in the comments stated that if you look at the actual document, the context of reducing non-medical abortions is that they’re going to be improving sex education and access to medical care and contraceptives to reduce the number of people who need these abortions in the first place.
So it’s not a limit on abortions. Didn’t need to go past the headline to find the lie.
Edit: also, lol at “it’s not a lie, only the language and framing are dishonest”.
It’s unclear what measures are actually going to be taken. It is reasonable to speculate that the government may implement more restrictions, given that it’s happened before.
Edit: also, lol at “it’s not a lie, only the language and framing are dishonest”.
The fact that it’s framing things about China in a negative way doesn’t mean that what China’s doing isn’t bad.
