How so? They are looking at killing off half the population of the world's largest country?

To restate the facts, over twice the amount of deaths that happened in the holocaust is happening EVERY YEAR in China. It totals up to almost 100 Million deaths which is significantly more than the 6 million that died in the holocaust. (http://www.allgirlsallowed.org/gende...ina-statistics). Why is this different, because they're women instead of Jews?

Nope, its because they are fetuses.

You said, baselessly, "gendercide is OK with liberals." Real women die 14 times more in childbirth than abortion; that's what you support. Abortion doesn't kill people, so it isn't genocide. Chinese government restrictions are the source of the problem, not choice. If choice were not available to women, more baby girls would be abandoned or killed, which happens regardless of the availability of abortion.

Wow, that's a quote for the ages. I think that many times more babies die in abortions than in childbirth, but that's OK.

No "babies" die in abortions. Most abortions are performed by the 8th week, the embryo stage.

We are having 300.000 abortions and 100.000 births every year , everyone is happy about it.
I am grateful to my government for not having to support a child since the age of 17 .

Being pro-choice automatically puts you at odds with China's policies because many times, those are not abortions that are "chosen", they are forced. There's a difference. Pro-choicers, at least ones who are truly pro-choice, want the mother to be the one who chooses. Not another person, not the government, but the mother.

I thought it was more like:
Pro choice = Pro sex selective abortions

because we all want to choose the sex of our baby, the hair color, eyes, etc...
