Former Chinese birth control official shares experience in new novel
Ms. Sheng recalls seeing lines of girls, most of whom had little sex education and scant knowledge of contraceptives, queuing for abortions. The gynecology ward in the average Shenzhen hospital was the most profitable of all.
“The drains in the city are filled with blood,” she says.

It’s funny how that’s worded. First they mention the profitability of the gynecology ward. We’re not used to thinking of hospitals as profitable, or even desiring to be profitable. But I guess in China that’s how they see it. And if they’re to be profitable, you need a steady parade of consumers! And also notice they call it the gynecology ward–no obstetrics, which refers to ladies actually Having Babies.
It’s impossible that the gynecology ward was the most profitable. We all know abortionists are only in it to help women and blah blah blah it’s totally not about the money.
