Do forced abortions take place in China? Are Women sometimes physically forced to go to an abortion clinic?
I have read many reports by human rights organisations such as Amnesty International that in China women are sometimes physically forced to go to abortion clinics by government officials and pinned down while the abortion takes place. Has anyone else heard of this? I'm would especially like to hear from Doctors and nurses who work in China and would like to know if they have ever actually seen this happen! Here are my sources of information: http://www.womensrightswithoutfrontiers.org/index.php?nav=wujian http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article5733835.ece another source: http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/21819/ I also read of a case where a pregnant woman died while trying to escape from a forced abortion.

I dont know why you seem excited.... But yes, this happens, ESPECIALLY if it is a baby girl. Or they know they baby will be disable in any way. This is how china is, a horrible place.
2 :
You just had your share of american propoganda if thers forced abortions and all that #### in china there will be a rebellion abortions in china is just like anywhere else dont belive to everything that you hear for the stupid people that disagree with this you guys are idiots, there is a law saying there is only one child you get fined not forced aboartions
3 :
Yes a lot of women in China are forced to do this because a married couple can only have 1 child because China is so big, that if you have more than 1 you get in alot of trouble for it and if you are pregnant you are forced to miscarry the baby, because in China you can only have 1 child, and if you are pregnant with a girl you definitely have to miscarry, wether you like it or not, and this happens even if you are having a boy. Yes women are always physically forced to go to a abortion clinic if they already have the 1 child they are supposed to have.
4 :
People are not allowed to have a certain amount of children, dew to the over flooding of population. However people will not actually forced to have an abortation in the imaginative way you believe. At least not in todays world. I have seen women on television, hiding there kids from other people. However it is the birth permit law. This is why there is sooo many Chinese immigrants, in the USA.
5 :
I wouldn't doubt that some forced abortions happen in China AND in many other parts in the world. There is a one child policy in China because their population is already so big, and yes many prefer a baby boy than a girl to carry on the family name. However, if you have more than one child- you just have to pay more tax or something for each child you have. In the rural/poorer areas, families have more than one child to help with work and i think that they are allowed to do so.

A Chinese HS gradute is planning to take her BS NUrsing in the Philippines..Any pre-requisite
A Chinese HS gradute is planning to take her BS NUrsing in the Philippines..Any pre-requisite?
I'm a Chinese who has just graduated from my Secondary course. I'm planning to take my BS Nursing in the Philippines. Now, Im taking IELTS in preparation for my English test in January.Are there any pre requisites to study this course in the Philippines? Do I need to study the Filipino language? I have a Filipino friend teaching here in China, but her home city is far from the capital city. Is it advisable if I just chose to study in one of the Universities in the Visayan region,where my friend lives? Please give me some information regarding these matter. Thanks!

You check with your prospect school in the Philippines their requirements because there may be some entrance exams and othe rmethod of selections. Regarding studying Tagalog, you dont really need to because most schools in the Philippines (especially the top universities) uses English as medium of instruction. You'll learn Tagalog soon enough.
2 :
College education in the Philippines is typically given in English, particularly in medical fields such as Nursing. You don't have to study Filipino for your studies, though you may want to learn it for interaction purposes As for the requirements, it will depend on the university. St. Louis University in Baguio for example requires foreign students to have their transcript of records authenticated at the Philippine Embassy or consulate in your country http://www.slu.edu.ph/admission/foreigners.jsp . The premier university - University of the Philippines -- require "international foreign-administered examination such as General Certificate of Education (GCE) Examination and the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) or equivalent examination" as well as passing the entrance exam UPCAT http://www.up.edu.ph/content.php?r=4&c=4 As for studying in the Visayan region, you can very well do that as many schools in provinces like Cebu or Iloilo have significantly improved their standards of education (but not if you are going to places like Kalibo, Aklan where college education still lags so far behind). But most foreign nationals go to Metro Manila (Manila, Quezon City and neighboring areas) to study because of better standards of education, more support systems for foreign nationals, and more activities. You will need to file for Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) and Certificate of Temporary Residence for Students (CTRS) at the Philippine Bureau of Immigration

Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing
Could I still teach English abroad if I majored in registered nursing?
I'm going into my junior year of university and I plan on majoring in registered nursing. I have a huge interest in East Asia so I was thinking of teaching English in maybe Japan or Hong Kong after I get my Bachelor's, although I wouldn't mind South Korea or China. Anyway, I just want to know, if I went away for a year or two to teach English would that effect my skills and what I remember as a nurse? I plan on going as soon as I finish my degree so I'm just worried that I'll forget a lot of what I learned in university and I'll end up needing to go back to school. So, does it seem feasible to major in nursing and go away to teach English for a year or two? If so, would doing self-study while I'm away help me to remember? Or should I just give it up and travel after I get my career going? I realize that there isn't really a concrete answer that can be given to this type of question but I would just like some opinions. Thanks. :-)

In terms of the requirements, you'd have no difficulty, as the only criteria for teaching English in most Asian countries is a Bachelor's degree--regardless of what degree it happens to be. What you may want to look at are the advantages and disadvantages of each possibility. Japan virtually always has open positions, and for some corporations such as the Jet Program, you'd be able to interview in the United States. The pay is fairly good, but you'll likely have to pay for your own apartment, and Japan is an expensive country in most respects. It's also occasionally more difficult to get positions through programs and companies, as those jobs may have several candidates. South Korea pays very well--approximately $2200/month on average or more at this point--and it has several other advantages. The tax rate is minimal (usually between 5-15% depending on your level of income), your apartment and plane tickets are paid for and you receive a month's pay as a bonus at the end of a year contract (which is required by Korean law). On the other hand, Korea doesn't feel quite as urbane as the alternatives (though that's subjective), and it's a bit more culturally isolated. China and/or Hong Kong definitely has a growing market for teachers, but due to its often unregulated system, it can be one of the more indefinite choices. I've heard more horror stories about schools in China than anywhere else in Asia. However, the average pay is continuing to rise, and more reputable schools are continually seeking teachers. Again, though it's subjective, I feel that the culture is often much more interesting and rewarding than Japan and Korea. Finally, in regard to your other concerns, I personally feel that the experience of living and working abroad is worth far more than maintaining continuity in your education. In an increasingly globalized world, travel and world experience are often looked upon more favorably than more traditional work experience. You get to experience a wholly different culture, travel and gain a lot of memories while earning a very good wage. In short, I'd say it's worth it. As you said, you can always study while abroad, and there are always refresher courses to get you back on track. (Edit: To clarify the confusion I've seen in the answers others have given to this issue, none of the three countries you mentioned--Japan, Korea and China--require TEFL certification. The *only* requirements in most cases are that you be a native speaker of the U.S., U.K., South Africa, Australia or New Zealand and possess a Bachelor's degree. Having certification can certainly help, but it's not a necessity for employment. That being said, it certainly does help in terms of your ability to carry out the actual job requirements. The visa process can be laborious, and most schools or agencies handle the majority of the work for you, but contrary to what one person claimed, this fact doesn't make the industry as a whole less inclined to hire someone who does not have certification of any kind. On the contrary, the English-teaching market continues to grow, and teachers--however qualified--continue to be in high demand.)

Can I spay mum cat in heat and still nursing
Can I spay mum cat in heat and still nursing?
My cat China, had 4 kittens 8 weeks ago. I found two of them homes. And the other two are still here. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to get her spayed. She went into heat today and the kittens are still trying to nurse. She isn't interested in nursing but they will for a second here and there. Her breasts are a little swollen still. My biggest issue is I am leaving on vacation for a whole month in a week and she needs to be spayed before I go or I don't know what will happen. I'm just worried this is really bad to do because she is in heat and still nursing. What to do? What to do? Is she going to be ok? What is worse thing that could happen if she gets spayed in this condition?

At 8 weeks, she will be fine! The kittens are no longer dependent on her for milk even if she is still nursing them, and she IS able to get pregnant again. The worst thing, is only the same as any other female cat going in for a spay. Please go ahead and get her spayed. The kittens will still be able to nurse if she hasn't fully weaned them. But they don't NEED her at 8 weeks anymore for that reason. Better to stay with her a little longer for manners and socializing, but she'll be fine. ^^

I just went through this exact same thing.. She can get fixed while she is in heat but it can cost little more YOU have to tell the vet that she is in heat because she can bleed more. The mom cat will try to stop the nursing this is normal, sometimes she will sometimes she wont. her breast will be swollen for a few more weeks this is normal.. my suggestion to you is BEFORE you go on vacation start giving the kittens some kitten food and show them the water, natural instincts will kick in and they will know.. You really can't leave the cats and kittens home alone for a whole month, kittens will become more active and get into trouble..Hopefully you will have a sitter.. But get them started on Kitten food,,just on the safe side i would get the hard food because, the moist might be too hard on there stomachs because they are still growing and might have diarrhea.. good luck to you and have fun on your vacation

No she should be fine. Her belly might swell up a bit more then the average cat though. Otherwise the vet wouldn't do it if it wasn't safe :) Just better now then later. One of my strays ended up having to be spayed when she was starting to go into heat and had 3 babies that were about 8 weeks old as well and trying to nurse. Her spay went fine but her tummy got a little saggy and swollen but she's fine.
4 :
Yes. I spayed my cat while she was in heat. I don't think it is a good idea to spay her while nursing. She will be sore where the kittens need to get milk. You should wait till the kittens are done nursing.
5 :
The vet can provide medicine to help dry up the milk. Spaying while in heat will probably be a bit more expensive, as it is a bit more complicated, since the organs are swollen. I hope you have provided someone responsible to look in on her and the two kittens while you are gone. The kittens will benefit from human contact, and the spayed mother will be in some discomfort as her hormone levels recede, and the milk dries up. The kittens, at eight weeks, are old enough to be weaned, so that is not an issue. They probably will try to keep nursing, since they are a bit 'lazy' <ggg>
