Have you seen this video of a Chinese woman forced to undergo abortion at 8 months?<\/p>\n

A brave reporter sneaked into a Chinese hospital to speak with the woman, and later her husband, waiting outside in a car. It’s just 2 minutes long, and it’s not graphic, but is heartbreaking.  The woman only let herself be filmed from the neck down because she was \u201cterrified of retribution.\u201d  The film shows her with huge bruises on her arm.  Her husband described the scene in which she was captured.  \u201cThey held her arms behind her back, pushed her head against the door, kicked her stomach, and I don\u2019t know whether they were trying to give her a miscarriage.\u201d  The footage shows the jail cell where she was held as they gave her 8 month unborn baby a lethal injection.<\/p>\n

This video is further evidence that China\u2019s coercive family planning practices cause more violence against women than any other official policy on earth.  Thousands of women are being dragged out of their homes, thrown into \u201cfamily planning\u201d jail cells, strapped down to tables and forced to abort pregnancies that they want, even up to the ninth month.  Forced abortion and forced sterilization are China\u2019s war on women. The Chinese Communist Party itself has reported an annual abortion rate of more than 13 million.  That\u2019s more than 35,000 abortions a day.  How many of these are forced?<\/p>\n

I applaud Al-Jazeera for capturing this remarkable footage and bringing it to the attention of the world.  I disagree, however, that this incident is unusual because it happened in \u201cone of China\u2019s most modern cities.\u201d  China\u2019s coercive birth control policy is strictly enforced, both in the cities and in the countryside.  The fines referenced by the report can reach 10 times a person\u2019s annual salary.  Most people cannot afford to pay these fines.  What\u2019s left for them?  Forced abortion or forced sterilization.  Despite these appalling human rights violations, the Chinese Communist party recently announced that it will continue its One Child Policy for \u201cdecades\u201d to come.  (See the links below.)<\/p>\n
