Chinese Woman with Dead Infant After Forced State Abortion
The picture sweeping China of a bereaved Chinese woman in a hospital bed with her dead infant after a forced state abortion at seven months. The woman and her husband were unable to raise the $6,500 fine the state charges for a second child.

This is unfortunate, but not unusual. Fact is, Chinese practice infanticide and have for thousands of years. They do it to favor boys.
ReplyDeleteAlso this isn't infanticide; it is an abortion. How about using the correct description? Unless you feel a fetus is a person.
Is "forced state abortion" equivalent to "abortion" by choice? Unintended consequences of Chinese one-child policy, such as, forced-abortion and skewed demographic disasters (male/female) ratios, are classic textbook examples of the state's activist/coercive planning process/outcome. For the last 3000 years, the Chinese governments have blindly driven their society up-and-down, and then to the Wall. But, this time they'll meet the the Wall using a high-speed train (and not with a horse-drawn carriage)!
ReplyDeleteCarl: Do you have a credible source for 'Chinese practice infanticide and have for thousands of years'? If true (for thousands of years), then Chinese population should have been wiped-out by now.
ReplyDeleteA fetus is a little person!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad, China is the only country where female suicides outnumber male suicides and this is why; forced abortions/murders.
The one child policy has not been around for thousands of years. Only the last 2 or 3 generations. Human life is not valued there though whether you are an infant or adult. I lived in China for a year. This is so sad, I hope China changes these policies.
