"In addition, the continuing preference for sons has resulted in selective abortion and sometimes infanticide of baby-girls, causing a skewed male-female ratio in the general population."
It is hard to imagine what form of population control could allow China?s current program to be called "milder" by comparison. A nuclear strike might not kill as many people as China?s population program does. The suggestion that female infanticide is something that occurs only "sometimes" as a result of this program is equally ludicrous.
In March, the State Department released its own annual report on human rights in China. This report did some soft-pedaling, too, but is packed with facts painting a grim picture of the Holocaust for Little Girls the Chinese Communists have created.
"Female infanticide, sex selective abortions, the abandonment of little girls, and the neglect of baby girls remain problems due to the traditional preference for sons, and the family planning policy, which limits urban couples to one child and rural couples to two," reported State.
"Estimates from previous years indicate a very high percentage of pregnancies terminated are of female fetuses," said State. "Female babies also suffer from a higher mortality rate than male babies, contrary to the worldwide trend."
