Things you don’t normally see ads for: CNY specials on abortions in Shenzhen
Posted: 02/7/2013 1:25 pmSpring Festival is right around the corner and, like Christmas in the west, retailers are all about capitalizing on the opportunity to lure people into stores and sell products.
While some pharmaceutical companies place ads, one Shenzhen hospital has gone one step further: offering a special promotional price on the cost of abortions, specifically to migrant workers.
The Shenzhen Beautiful People Professional Abortion Clinic has launched a page on its website explaining that women are beautiful, but sometimes one-night stands bad things happen. When they do, they might want to be aware that there’s a special promotional price on abortions: only RMB 480.
The advertisement doesn’t specifically state the promotional price is aimed to coincide with the Spring Festival, but a quick glance at the calendar shows it does.
Abortion in China doesn’t carry the same stigma it does in western countries. In fact, China leads the world when it comes to abortions, with 13 million performed annually (that’s 25 a minute).
