NPR and NCR

I was listening to NPR this morning before going into work and they had a piece on forced abortions in China. I guess it was interesting to hear this on NPR because it certainly is not news:

Cases of Forced Abortions Surface in China

Then after getting home from work I read this article in the National Catholic Register:

"Where Have All the Girls Gone?"

This article mentions the practice of aborting girls in cultures, such as China, where boys are more socially prized for various reasons.
