To many young Vietnamese people today, abortion is just another means of contraception. About 40 percent of pregnancies in Vietnam end in abortion according to a report by a team of medical doctors in Hanoi. Also. the concept of the sanctity of life is not widely taught. Overall, abortion is not taboo in Vietnamese society. Though the government lifted their two-child policy, the effects of such ideals still influence families to have selective gender abortions. These are sad reminders that the country has one of the highest rates of abortion in the world.
