in that Year of the Dragon. (Also, that the rate of elective abortion would go up in the previous year.) However, I read that the birth rate in China that year was the same as in the previous several years.

True confession: I would have loved to have had a baby born in this year. Le sigh. But I am still stuck in singledom. (Also, not even I really believe astrology should be used as a family planning tool.)
