Free abortions have been given to 28 young women troubled with unexpected pregnancies in Guiyang of Guizhou Province thanks to a special hotline opened earlier this month.

Most of the women helped were migrant workers living on the outskirts of the city. The youngest was only 16.

Working for the hotline as operators, doctors have since advised 82 young women on how to avoid, or deal with, such a pregnancy.
