China Worried: Abortion Is Wiping Out Women
Goodness, what would "eugenics" fan Margaret Sanger have to say about this? Thanks to abortion, the one-child policy of China's communist dictatorship is causing a wholesale slaughter of females.
"Researchers say China has millions fewer girls than it normally should, suggesting that many were aborted or killed after birth," the Associated Press reported today.

Beijing is so worried about the nation's shortage of women that it announced today it would ban the ever-popular abuse of abortion to select an infant's sex.
The regime has announced such schemes before and flopped, but now it says that couples without sons will go on the taxpayers' dole.
"Government figures show 117 boys are born in China for every 100 girls - a gap blamed largely on a policy limiting most couples to one child. In a society that values sons, many parents abort baby girls, hoping to try again for a boy," AP reported.
"The gap has led to warnings that millions of men won't find wives in coming years, fueling social tensions and a black market in baby girls and abducted women."
Zhao Baige, vice minister of the National Population and Family Planning Commission, said: "Illegal sex determination and sex-selective abortion must be strictly banned. China has set the goal of lowering the sex ratio to a normal level by 2010."
Good luck. Why not ask American "feminist" groups for donations to battle this appalling violence against women?
