China's Coercive Family Planning Policies

LifeSiteNews has an excellent article covering reports of forced abortion in China:

Time magazine ran a piece, titled, “Enemies of the State? How local officials in China launched a brutal campaign of forced abortions and sterilizations,” a topic that is largely taboo in abortion-supporting popular media.

Beginning with a graphic and horrifying account of a forced abortion by government population control officials, the Time piece confirmed in the mainstream media what pro-life activists have been trying for years to expose. China’s one-child population control policy has created a horrific environment of terror, violence and infanticide in which mothers must go underground or flee the country to save the lives of their unborn children.

While implying that without controls, China’s “over-population” problem could expand into a “Malthusian nightmare,” Time reported that despite legal reforms, the violence is still common. Drowning newborns, dragging unwilling women into abortion facilities, forcing sterilizations, jailing parents and beating their relatives to death, extorting exorbitant fees from peasants who want to give birth without being arrested, the piece implied, are still carried out under a government that often turns a blind eye.
