Read about China and their imbalance of gender.
This is why abortions shouldn't be legalized.

As mentioned in Chinese culture it is very important to have a son and when you limit families to one child and naturally they want their first child to be a boy and resort to whatever it takes to get one. Now they are facing the consequences.

They got rid of their baby girls that way spiv. It is hard for me to be sympathetic with them especially since I lost my unborn baby girl 9 years ago due to my wife's pregnacy problems. People don't know a good thing when they have it sometimes till they lose it. That was the worse day of my life.

Thanks spiv! Talk about one extreme to the other when we found out my wife was pregnant with a baby girl and then losing her.

What a huge mistake that the Chinese made in these decisions.

I work with a Chinese firm and have traveled there 2 times in the last 18 months. If you are a farmer in the rural areas, you can have more than one child. You can continue to have kids until you have a son. You can also have more sons, but it costs you in government payments.

What a huge mistake that is in hurting people in their income.

Hey Boosty I have heard that the ones in China who did have daughters get a premium gift (lots of $) for their daughters though at wedding time.
What a great economical advantage for those that kept their girls.
