The suttee and foot binding are gone, but the patriarchy remains entrenched in India and China--because of abortion. The statistics from the Chinese government in 2000 purport a male/female baby-birth ratio of 117 to 100 in China. Things aren't much better for baby girls in India. About 93 baby girls are born for every 100 baby boys born in India. Where does NOW come down on all this?
