I cannot begin to imagine what these people have felt during this government "visit".. I am greatful for the "little "things we take for granted like freedom in this country..
Officials in China's Guangxi Region Carry Out Mass Forced Abortions
Radio Free Asia reports:
Authorities in China's southwestern Guangxi region have forced dozens of pregnant women to a hospital in Baise city to undergo abortions, the women and their relatives said.
In interviews with RFAs Cantonese service, several women and their husbands said they were visited last week by officials from the municipal family planning bureau, which is in charge of upholding strict population controls under Chinas one-child policy.
They all reported the same scenario: that the women were bundled aboard a vehicle and taken to a hospital in Baise, where many other pregnant women were crammed into wards and corridors. Their babies were then aborted against their will, they said.
The RH Reality Check blog has a post about Mao Hengfeng, a woman who has been arrested and tortured in the course of her nearly 20-year battle against China's one-child policy. Since 2002, the Bush Administration has cynically used the tragic issue of forced abortions in China to withhold millions of dollars in funding from the United Nations Population Fund, or UNFPA, based on unfounded claims that UNFPA supports the practice.

That is not right at all. It is one thing to limit the number of children you can have. But to force people to have abortions, that is too far.
