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.
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.
OK, so there’s no evidence as of now that what China is doing is bad, but you assume that they will do bad things in the future. Even if you end up being right, that’s ridiculous. I think I’m done here.
Guess it’s time to twist ourselves into knots to explain how restricting women’s reproductive rights is suddenly a good thing :yea:
This is the opposite of “not assuming”.
