The Jinagxi's Health and Family Planning Commission has made it mandatory that if an abortion is to go underway after 14 weeks that three approvals from medical professionals are needed. The new rule was made to help protect fetus gender identification and support a balancing of the sex ratio. While critics have been questioning, they say that the rule is not a new one. It was made for the exact reason that the Jiangxi is implementing it.
The rule is a movement towards promoting gender equality. However, it can be considered an infringement on the woman's rights because of the 3 medical approvals. It's argued that since gender fetus abortions are still so common, especially in rural areas, its a necessary move to help aid in the rebalancing of the sex ratio.
