Sex-selective abortion causing massive gender imbalance in Taiwan

Sex-selective abortion causing massive gender imbalance in Taiwan | LifeSiteNews.com: A report released December 7 from the Control Yuan, the Taiwanese government’s highest watchdog body, warns that sex-selective abortion is creating a serious gender imbalance in the country, second only to China.

According to data compiled by the Department of Health, Taiwan’s gender ratio at birth from 2004 to 2010 was between 108 and 112 males for every 100 females, compared to a natural ratio of about 106 males to 100 females. The government agency estimated that this has resulted in up to 3,000 missing female babies each year.
