You know I am pretty sure the laws of self defence has not yet been repealed.

First of all you can kill a pre-born for almost any reason accurding to the current court rullings. Likewise the notion that you can be sentenced to death merely for the crimes of your genetic father should be in and of itself an abomonation to all moral decency.

OK, call me a monster.

Actually most cultures consider cooking and eating a fertilized chicken egg kind of gross. There are a few exceptions but that's not the general rule. Mind you society as a whole doesn't mind boiling a live lobster.

Yeah, what China really needs is more unwanted children to get murdered/left in the woods/put up for an adoption that will never happen. That's a pretty textbook example of how abortions are reducing a social problem.
Actually, those children are only unwanted by the state. The enforcement of the one child policy is exceptionally severe. This, in turn, puts massive pressure on gendercide because if you only can have one, you better have the right one. Gendercide would not be as popular if the wrong gender could be compensated with another child of the right gender.
