The one child policy was established in the 1970's in order to control a rapidly growing Chinese population. This resulted in heavy discrimination and violence against girls and women. Because Chinese culture prizes male children as the continuum of family bloodlines, a custom of killing baby girls through either infanticide or abortion became increasingly common.

The development of ultrasounds, that allow the sex of an unborn child to be determined have promoted instances of sex-selective abortion, where a fetus is aborted if it happens to be female.

This has caused a wide gap in the gender ratio of Chinese people. The current statistic is 119 males to every 100 females.

Do they only kill girls for china's one child policy?

China's one child policy asks the Chinese people to have fewer children by using birth control, not by killing children. It is true that many people prefer to abort a female embryo rather than a male embryo. Nonetheless, female babies do continue to be born in China. China has not been transformed into an all-male country.

Im 19 and I have a 9 months baby and now pregnant. The father doesnt want me to keep it. But I dont believe in abortion. What should I do?

Do not. I really mean it do not abort your baby. It is just killing another life. Its a piece of you. If its your first baby and you're going to abort it chances are you might not be able to have another baby again. FOR REAL! MAN DONT ABORT YOUR BABY I WOULDNT ABORT A BABY CAUSE HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOUR MOM ABORTED YOU? THEN YOU WOULD'NT BE ALIVE RIGHT NOW! ANSWER: Last I checked. The choice is yours, not the father's. It wouldn't make for a strong point in your relationship, but the choice is yours. The argument would be that he should have been using protection. Hind sight is 20-20 but the fact remains. If you don't want it, again, its your choice. There are also many agencies that can help you if you want to put it up for adoption, but again, its your choice.
