More on Forced Abortions in China
The AP had published a follow-up report on forced abortions in China.
While Chinese sociologist, Zhai Zhenwu, reports that draconian measures to limit China's population have declined since 1993, one couple is suing the government for essentially kidnapping Jin Zhongchen in her 7th month of pregnancy, forceably injecting her with a poison, and then delivering her dead baby with forceps. The event left Jin sterile. Chinese courts have thus far thrown out Jin's case because she and her husband were not married at the time the baby was conceived. Human rights advocate, Chen Guangcheng, who spoke out against the forced abortions is now serving a 3 1/2 yr prison sentence for "inciting a mob."
