Chinese author Sheng Keyi, who wrote “Northern Girls” wrote about the lives of Chinese migrant women seeking jobs in cities like Shenzhen in the south:
“About 70 or 80 percent of migrant worker girls in Shenzhen have probably had abortions. I remember hearing that working in a gynecological hospital in Shenzhen was one of the best ways to make an income, because there was such a regular supply of abortions to be done. Millions and millions. It is very common.”
