Number of Abortions in China is “Cause for Concern”
Posted by: | CommentsThere are 13 million abortions each year, compared to 20 million births, according to newly published research.
Researchers believe the real figure could be even higher because there are many abortions at unregistered clinics.
China imposed strict family planning rules in the 1970s in an attempt to limit the growth of its population.
Many pregnant women who have had their full quota of children have abortions to prevent unwanted births.
But young single women are most likely to have abortions in a country where there are 20 million births each year, the research found.
Experts said the high number of abortions was “cause for concern”, adding that many women who have abortions are single and aged between 20 and 29.
China began restricting the number of children each couple can have in 1978. Officials say this has prevented 400 million extra births.
One-child policy has exceptions after China quake
Posted by: | Comments
BEIJING (AP) — Chinese officials announced Monday that the country’s strict one-child policy will make some exceptions for certain families affected by the devastating earthquake two weeks ago.
Families with a child who was killed, severely injured or disabled in the quake can obtain a certificate to have another child, the Chengdu Population and Family Planning Committee in the capital of hard-hit Sichuan province said.
Abortion is NOT an ‘American’ issue
Posted by: | CommentsToday is International Women’s Day and a great time to take a look at the serious issue of abortion, worldwide.
When looking at what is being done by Christians to reduce the abortion rates, it’s easy to believe that abortion is a major problem / challenge only in America. Easy, that is, until you gain some perspective;
46-50 million children worldwide lose their lives to abortion each year.
Abortions in the U.S. and Canada amount to 3% (1.4 million) of abortions worldwide. That means that the remaining 97% of abortions occur somewhere other than North America. People don’t often connect the cause of missions to the problem of abortion, however, we believe the success of missions can dramatically impact the abortion rate. When a society is transformed morally, far fewer unwanted pregnancies will occur and when they do, the decision to abort will be weighed much differently than in a society that does not cherish the life of an unborn child.
Are you serious about abortion? Do you want to have a hand in saving the lives of children who’s mothers are on the brink of getting an abortion? Get involved in missions. Pray, Give, Go.
