CHINESE SHIDDUCH CRISIS
Parshas Hashavua
Midrash
Rabah Parshas Toldos (65) quotes Koheles
(11:5) כעצמים בבטן המלאה [you don't know] " the nature of the embryo
in a
pregnant stomach."
The עץ יוסף writes
the reason we don't know the gender in a pregnant stomach is that
otherwise, some רשעים
would cause the woman to abort if the gender won't be to
their liking.
As a result of
female infanticide and sex-selective abortion combined, there are
an estimated 30–40 million more men than women in China
today. This female deficit is expected to generate a wide
range of adverse social, political, and economic consequences.
