A Chinese hospital is being criticized for displaying a promotional article for 'anti-abortion' that has no scientific basis.

According to the Chinese media Guangming Daily and the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Heuan Youhao Hospital in Heuan, Guangdong Province, has posted anti-abortion public-interest posters in the patient's waiting room.

The poster post listed potential psychological problems such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia, as well as physical side effects such as endometriosis and infertility, emphasizing the risk of abortion and miscarriage, along with the text that 'hyo is the most important of all healthy acts, and sexual misconduct is the worst of all unhealthy acts'.




Controversial was the emphasis on the phrase 'Abortion cuts male blood ties and harms the vitality of the male family' and 'Children born to mothers who have experienced abortion tend to be rebellious, angry, rude to parents, underweight, low IQ, and weak health' without scientific evidence.

We also used images depicting 'bad personality' as a girl and 'nice child' as a boy.

When a netizen filmed it and shared it online, criticism flooded in.




Netizens might wonder how the public service turned into a propaganda of feudal superstitions? I feel like I'm back in the Qing Dynasty", 'Abortion clearly harms women's bodies and is distorted to harm men and families.'"It seems to be due to a deep-rooted preference for sons" posted comments such as.

In the wake of the controversy, the hospital immediately removed the poster.

A hospital official said "It wasn't led by us, it was done by the local health commission, an external agency"Our hospital didn't pursue and review this campaign, only allowing it to be exhibited", he explained.




Meanwhile, according to Chinese statistics, about 9 million abortions were performed in 2023, similar to the total number of births in the same year of 9.02 million. More than 50% of abortions were unmarried women aged 15 to 24, with repeated abortion rates exceeding 55%.
