History
During the 19th century, the practice was widespread. Readings from Qing texts show a prevalence of the term ni nü (to drown girls), and drowning was the most common method used to kill female children. Other methods used were suffocation and starvation.

On September 25, 1980, in an “open letter”, the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party requested that members of the party, and those in the Communist Youth League, lead by example and have only one child. Early in the 1980s, senior officials became increasingly concerned with reports of abandonment and female infanticide by parents desperate for a son. In 1984, the government attempted to address the issue by adjusting the one-child policy. Couples whose first child is a girl are allowed to have a second child. Even when exceptions were made to the One-Child Policy if a couple had a female child first, the baby girls were still discarded, because the parents didn’t want the financial burden of having two children. They would continuously do this until they had a boy.

Not mentioned so far is the fact that with modern viewing methods, a lot of parents are choosing abortions for their female fetuses. Another problem is that with so many more boys being born than girls, a lot of young men will have trouble finding a wife and continuing reproduction for the welfare of the state.
An elderly friend was born in Peoria, IL. His mother told him when a reservoir was drained some time in the Depression 1930s, 23 dead infants were found drowned in the reservoir. Given the current economic conditions, people could not have picked a worse time to eliminate the possibility of abortion. Instead we will have mal nourished, sickly children raised by parents who could not afford a child, and did not want that child. The price in crime and mental health breakdown will only get worse under these condiitons.
