China to make gender-based abortions illegal January 07 2005 at 05:25PM By Audra Ang Beijing - China is planning to make selective abortions of female foetuses illegal as a way to close the widening gap between the number of boys and girls in the country, the official Xinhua News Agency said. "The government takes it as an urgent task to correct the gender imbalance of newborns," Zhang Weiqing, minister of National Population and Family Planning Commission, was quoted as saying on Thursday by Xinhua. Traditionally, sons have been more valued as a way for the family name to continue and as a means for parents to be cared for as they get older. Government figures show 119 boys are born in China for every 100 girls - a gap blamed largely on parents aborting baby girls to try again for a boy under the country's one-child policy. iol.co.za
