Chinese Woman Gives Birth on the Street and Immediately Throws Her Baby in the Trash

A newborn baby girl was abandoned Tuesday on the streets in China, a country where girls continuously are targeted for abortion and infanticide.

A medical professional found the baby girl, and, though born prematurely, the baby is doing well in Bo’ai Hospital in Guilin, China, according to the Daily Mail.

Dr. Yang Jin’e, who witnessed the incident, said she saw the baby’s mother around noon on Huancheng Bei Lu in Guilin. Yang said the mother was squatting down near some garbage cans.
