Although there is undoubtedly an economic disparity between India and China, their populations are roughly equal. So it is reasonable to estimate that as many as half of China’s abortions – some 6.5 million registered surgical abortions, plus untold numbers of drug-induced or unregistered abortions, per year – are attributable to the one-child policy.
当然，印度和中国的经济状况千差万别，但他们的人口数量大致相当。因此，一个合理的假设是，中国的堕胎中有多达一半——每年650万起注册在案的人工流产，以及未知数量的药物流产或未注册流产——可归因于一胎政策。这意味着在一胎政策执行的35年中发生了2亿以上的流产。
