China has already enacted strict measures aimed at preventing sex-selective abortions
China will reduce the number of abortions performed for "non-medical purposes", the country's cabinet said in new guidelines issued on September 27. They said that this was aimed at improving women's reproductive health.
China has already enacted strict measures aimed at preventing sex-selective abortions, and health authorities also warned in 2018 that the use of abortion to end unwanted pregnancies was harmful to women's bodies and risks causing infertility.
The State Council said the new guidelines would aim to improve women's overall access to pre-pregnancy health care services.
